Fatih Terim admits that Galatasaray may struggle to keep hold of star striker Burak Yilmaz in the summer.

Galatasaray boss Fatih Terim has admitted that he faces a fight to keep star striker Burak Yilmaz in the summer.

The 27-year-old only arrived from Trabzonspor last year but is already attracting interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs.

Yilmaz has scored eight goals in the Champions League this season, as well as 18 in the Turkish league, and Terim compared him to Andriy Shevchenko who he managed at AC Milan.

"It's not going to be easy to keep him," Terim told The Observer.

"He has targets but it will be his decision. Being wanted is a good thing, but we are fond of him and believe he will do great things in the future.

"He listens. He is 27 but he is still open to learning new things. Andriy Shevchenko was the same. If you substituted him in the 89th minute, he would be angry. Loving football is very important."

Galatasaray face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday.
