Lazio and Napoli will lock horns at the Stadio Olimpico this weekend, but they could also compete for Baris Alper Yilmaz next summer.

The Background

The 24-year-old is a right winger who started at his hometown club, Rise OI, and then went to sharpen his tools at Ankara Demir and Keciörengücü before being poached by Galatasaray in the summer of 2021. The Turkish star has now established himself as a protagonist for both club and country.

Lazio & Napoli Following Baris Yilmaz

Therefore, Yilmaz has attracted the interest of several suitors, across Europe, including Lazio and Napoli. According to the latest reports in Turikiye (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), the two Serie A clubs have sent scouts to monitor the player in Thursday’s Europa League contest between AZ Alkmaar and Galatasaray which takes place at AFAS Stadium in the Netherlands.

Stats & Price Tag

The Turkiye international usually plays on the right side, but can also feature on the left flank as an inverted winger, or even as a centre-forward. This season, he has thus far contributed with 11 goals and two assists in 32 appearances across all competitions.

But while Galatasaray had only paid €2 million to sign the player in 2021, they’ll be looking to register a substantial profit, placing their price tag at €30 million, reveals the source.
