Nottingham Forest expressed considerable interest in Barış Alper Yılmaz, putting forward an offer that could reach up to 25 million Euro, including bonuses. Despite this attractive proposition, Galatasaray chose not to enter into discussions, as they are unwilling to part with the player. Nottingham Forest is still keen and intends to make another approach to Galatasaray, but the club has opted to renew Barış Alper's contract with a salary increase. Coach Okan Buruk is concentrating on the player's role in contributing to the team's success both in the league and in European competitions, and therefore, the club does not plan to sell him during the winter transfer window.
