Tottenham Hotspur has fallen into an ambiguous position. The player targeted for recruitment is performing well, but you can't just laugh. This is because ransom inflation is taking place. It is a position to either recruit quickly or stop the player's performance before the ransom goes up further. Varsh Alper Yilmaz (24, Galatasaray), who plays for the Turkiye national team, is putting Tottenham in an embarrassment.
British media TBR Football reported on the 2nd (Korea time) 'The ransom of the winger Tottenham is now reaching £25 million.'" Tottenham are trying to boost their offense next season by reinforcing forward strikers and central attacking midfielders in the transfer market this summer. Several players are being mentioned as Tottenham's goal of signing, including Galatasaray's Yilmaz.
Yilmaz played a major role in his team's Super League victory with seven goals and 12 assists for Galatasaray in the 2023-2024 season. If Tottenham recruits Son as a wing forward similar to Son Heung-min, Son Heung-min's backup role is likely. Yilmaz has been called up to the Turkiye national team and is currently participating in Euro 2024, which is being held in Germany.
However, as Ilmaz showed good performance in this competition, the initially expected recruitment price is showing signs of soaring. Citing a report by Harbor3, the media reported that Tottenham is seeking to recruit Ilmaz, and the transfer fee, which was originally around £17 million, has risen to £25 million while playing in Euro 2024.
The Galatasaray club saw the performance of Ilmaz and the interest of European clubs, and gradually increased his transfer fee. Yilmaz is playing full time every game in this tournament. In addition to Tottenham, Manchester United and Brighton are showing interest in Ilmaz.
Thanks to Ilmaz's performance, Turkiye passed the group qualifying round and are in the round of 16. The team will play the round of 16 match against Austria at 4 a.m. on the 3rd. If you win here, you will reach the quarterfinals. It is a scenario that Tottenham does not want. TBR Football analyzed 'If Turkiye, which Ilmaz belongs to, succeeds in advancing to the quarterfinals, Ilmaz's ransom is expected to rise by another £5 million.' This means it could be as much as 30 million pounds. It is almost double the original estimate of £17 million. Therefore, Tottenham is rushing to sign a contract with Ilmaz, hoping that Turkiye will fail to advance to the quarterfinals.
