yilmaz The Galatasaray striker is a potential transfer target for Liverpool this summer, according to the Metro. Yilmaz has just enjoyed a terrific season for the Turkish giants, scoring a remarkable 24 league goals in just 30 appearances, as well as netting 32 in 39 overall outings for the club. The Turkish international is one of the most coveted strikers in Europe right now, and his goal-scoring exploits have earned him a spate of admirers, including Liverpool's Premier League rivals Chelsea. The 27-year-old only arrived from Trabzonspor last summer but Galatasaray would be prepared to do business, if they received a suitable enough offer for the star. Gala president Unal Aysal recently stated:
"We have set a price for Burak Yilmaz. We will only consider an offer which is in the best interests of the club and player. "If Burak wants to leave and our transfer demands are matched, we could accept a deal."
