Baris Alper Yilmaz has been reported to be interested in joining Liverpool, and Richard Hughes has been informed of the asking price for the promising young Bundesliga player.

Liverpool’s sporting director Richard Hughes is gearing up for potential transfer moves following the conclusion of major international tournaments. One player on their radar is Baris Alper Yilmaz, who recently exited Euro 2024 with Turkey after a narrow defeat to the Netherlands. Despite not being a standout star of the tournament, Yilmaz made a significant impression, particularly on Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk. Van Dijk praised Yilmaz for his tireless running and tricky movements, highlighting his importance on the pitch, despite not scoring goals.

Reports from Milliyet suggest that Liverpool has swiftly entered the race to secure Yilmaz’s signature, alongside interest from Manchester United and Tottenham. The Reds are reportedly eager to finalize a deal, with a speculated fee of around $32 million (£25 million/€30 million).

Additionally, Liverpool continues to monitor the situation of Karim Adeyemi at Borussia Dortmund. The versatile winger, who has attracted interest from several top clubs including Liverpool, Chelsea, Juventus, and AC Milan, could be available for a similar fee of $32 million (£25 million/€30 million). Adeyemi’s potential availability stems from Dortmund’s willingness to cash in on the player, who hasn’t progressed as expected since his move from Red Bull Salzburg.

As Hughes navigates these potential transfers, the focus remains on bolstering Liverpool’s squad under the guidance of new coach Arne Slot, amidst the ongoing speculation and negotiations in the transfer market.
