Galatasaray sets its sights on national player: 'The Turkish Haaland' is coming

The Galatasaray management has added young center-forward Bertuğ Yıldırım of İstanbul Başakşehir to its agenda as part of its plan to strengthen its domestic player rotation at the start of the season. While it has been learned that initial contacts between the clubs will be established, the transfer is expected to be completed with a transfer fee of 3 million euros.

Bertuğ Yıldırım remained away from the team due to injuries he experienced last season, but despite this, he managed to perform with 7 goals and 2 assists in the 21 matches he played. The 23-year-old footballer was given the nickname "The Turkish Haaland" by head coach Volkan Demirel during his time at Hatayspor.

According to Transfermarkt data, Bertuğ Yıldırım's current market value is shown as 4 million euros.
