Versatile €30m forward told he can join Liverpool | OneFootball

Liverpool are conducting big changes in their attack line this summer. Luis Diaz has already left the club - and we could see the likes of Federico Chiesa, Ben Doak and Federico Chiesa join him on the list of departures.

Space has been made in the squad - and the budget - for new arrivals like Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.

We could even see the Reds complete another British record deal - having paid up to £116m for Wirtz - depending on what happens with Alexander Isak.

And although it’s unlikely that he arrives this summer, there is another versatile attacker appearing on the Reds’ radar. Baris Alper Yilmaz, 25, won the Turkish league and cup double with Galatasaray last season.

The Turkey international - who is equally comfortable playing left or right wing - scored 14 goals and added six assists overall for the Istanbul giants.

Following another stellar campaign, he has been mooted as a potential departure - with Turkish reports suggesting that West Ham could be a destination.

However, his coach, Okan Buruk, believes he is TOO GOOD for the Hammers and should instead hold out one more year for Liverpool to come calling.

Gala coach says wait for Liverpool

That’s according to a new report from Galatasaray reporter Ali Naci Küçük, who discussed the player’s transfer situation on the SkySpor YouTube channel.

"Barış has no intention of leaving," the report said. "Barış Alper Yılmaz has a truly special and distinct place for Okan Buruk.

“Coach Okan told Barış, 'Europe's eyes are on Galatasaray right now... Instead of going to West Ham, go to Tottenham or Liverpool.'"
