Fanatik reports that Arsenal has serious interest in Barış Alper Yılmaz. The report states that Galatasaray may sell the player to create funds for the Leão transfer if the English club offers more than 50 million euros.

Fanatik reports that Arsenal is interested in acquiring Barış Alper Yılmaz and is closely following him. The report states that the club's representatives have watched him from the stands during the season and that Arsenal is planning to make an offer. It also adds that Galatasaray, which had previously set a price of 40 million euros for the player, is no longer insisting on this amount.

According to Turkish outlet Sabah, Arsenal are interested in left winger Baris Alper Yilmaz and will negotiate with Galatasaray for a deal at the end of the season. The report also states that Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta attended Galatasaray’s 3-0 win over Fenerbahce, during which Yilmaz scored a penalty. Berta is said to have rated Yilmaz highly. Last summer, a €35m (£30m) bid from the Saudis for the Turkish international was unsuccessful. It has been reported that Arsenal will need to pay €50m (£43m) to secure an agreement with Galatasaray.

Baris Alper Yilmaz has eight goals and ten assists this season while playing as a left winger and striker, a profile Arsenal are hoping to recruit this summer to strengthen their attacking options. A transfer for Yilmaz would likely depend on whether Arsenal sell players such as Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, both of whom have been linked with leaving the club this summer.
