Newcastle United Target Galatasaray Winger Amid Squad Depth Concerns

Newcastle United are allegedly interested in Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz as a potential summer signing, following a January transfer window in which the club lost squad depth without adding any players.

Manager Eddie Howe is expected to prioritize boosting his roster after player sales were not met with replacements, as required by Financial Fair Play standards.

Yilmaz, 24, has shined in the Turkish Super Lig this season, scoring 10 goals and helping Galatasaray win a 25th league title. Several Premier League clubs, including Everton, Aston Villa, and West Ham, have expressed interest in the winger’s performances, in addition to Newcastle.

According to Turkish news site Milliyet, Newcastle have already spoken with Yilmaz’s agent about a potential £25 million move during the summer transfer window. However, they will have fierce competition for his signature. The article also claims that the Serie A team

Napoli sent scouts to see Yilmaz in Galatasaray’s Europa League encounter against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday. Despite playing the full 90 minutes, Yilmaz was unable to prevent his team from losing 4-1. It remains to be seen which team will sign the young winger.
