West Ham is very seriously interested in transferring Barış Alper Yılmaz. Galatasaray management is not considering losing their key players during the most critical part of the season and has replied to all offers with 'We can talk in the summer. Our player is not for sale during the mid-season transfer window.' Similar messages were conveyed to the player's agents.

Barış Alper Yılmaz, who has been performing exceptionally well for Galatasaray with 11 goals and 1 assist in 28 appearances this season, is drawing interest from West Ham United. The English Premier League club is eager to acquire the 24-year-old winger and is reported to have made a significant offer. TV 100 reported that West Ham has submitted a transfer bid valued at 25 million pounds, with an additional 5 million pounds in bonuses. The club is aiming to complete the transfer during the winter transfer window. Currently, Barış Alper Yılmaz's market value is estimated at 20 million euros, and he is under contract with Galatasaray until 2027. His father, Yüksel Yılmaz, remarked on his son's potential move to Europe, noting that every footballer dreams of playing in Europe and expressing his belief that Barış shares that ambition.
