Atletico Madrid have expressed interest in signing Galatasaray striker Burak Yilmaz, the player’s agent has revealed.
The 27- years- old striker has had a good campaign for Galatasaray, scoring 18 league goals and leading his side to the quarter- final of the Champions League with a number of decisive strikes.
His standout season has already attracted offers from around Europe and Atletico appear to be the frontrunners. The move is aimed at preparing the club for the possible sale of striker Radamel Falcao in the summer.
Yilmaz’s agent Ali Egesel told tuttormercatoweb.com that the Turkey international is prepared to leave Galatasaray if he can secure a lucrative move elsewhere.
“It is true that there is particular interest from Atletico,” Egesel said. “But there are no possibilities. There are also some Italian teams interested. Last season he nearly joined Lazio, but I do not want to name names. Burak is happy at Galatasaray, but if an offer came in then we are willing to listen.”
