What Everton have decided to do next as £35m Baris Alper Yilmaz offer rejected
Everton have plans in place after Galatasaray rejected their offer for Baris Alper Yilmaz.
The Turkiye international is a concrete target for the Toffees this summer and they seem willing to spend a hefty sum on him.
During talks for the winger's transfer, the Blues verbally offered £35million to the Super Lig side.
Galatasaray want more for Yilmaz amid interest from Hill Dickinson Stadium and a new offer is expected from David Moyes' team.
The 26-year-old attacker has established himself as one of the best in the Turkish top flight over the last few seasons.
With the forward also boasting Champions League experience, the Merseyside outfit may have to make a significant investment to sign him.
When Everton plan to make new bid for Baris Alper Yilmaz
Goodison News have covered the latest Everton transfer news around Yilmaz, with Galatasaray valuing him at over £42m
With the Toffees' latest offer falling short of the Super Lig side's expectations, they are ready to make another bid.
According to prominent Turkish sports journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu on 2 August, the Blues will submit a fresh proposal during the week.
It looks like the Merseyside outfit's pursuit of Yilmaz is heating up and it remains to be seen how much they will be willing to spend on him.
How Baris Alper Yilmaz signing could hint at imminent bad news
It will certainly be encouraging for fans to see The Friedkin Group finally accelerate plans to bolster Moyes' squad.
One complaint many supporters in L3 have had of the American owners is their reluctance to spend money.
Hayden Hackney and Tyrique George are two impressive prospects who the Toffees have signed this summer, but there's an evident lack of quality in the squad.
While the news around Yilmaz will be worth following for the Hill Dickinson Stadium faithful, it may hint at a disheartening development.
It's definitely worth asking why the Blues are pursuing another left-winger if they hope to sign Jack Grealish this summer.
The Turkiye international's pursuit could potentially mean the Merseyside outfit have given up on the Manchester City forward's return.
Yilmaz's arrival surely won't be able to compensate for fans' disappointment over Grealish's failed return.
