Lazio are lining up a bid for Galatasaray's 28 year old frontman Burak Yilmaz, who's reportedly also a target for Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Yilmaz scored 24 goals in 30 league appearances last season, and has shined playing for Turkey as well. 


Lazio have enquired about his availability, on loan and as a permanent transfer, with reports suggesting that he's available on loan after several bids were rejected throughout the summer.


Galatasaray are thought to be holding out for at least £13m, 25 percent of which will go to Yilmaz's former club Trabzonspor as part of the deal that moved him to Galatasaray.
