Galatasaray have slapped a £35m valuation
on Burak Yilmaz in an attempt to scare off
Arsenal and other interested clubs.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is on the look out for more firepower in the summer as Robin van Persie’s goals have not been replaced and the Turkish star is believed to be on his wanted list.
Manchester United have also been heavily
linked but Galatasaray president Unal Aysal
says no offers have been made and it would
take a huge one for them to consider letting
him go.
“We have not received any offers for Burak
Yilmaz, but, of course, [the speculation] will
mount as the end of the season nears closer,” he said.
“Burak is a very valuable star for us. If,
however, we are talking about Falcao being
worth €55 million [£48m], then my player is
€40m [£35m].”
Reports claim that Wenger could have as much as £70million to spend in the summer but even if that is the case he would not be willing to spend half of his budget on Yilmaz.
