Turkish professional footballer who played as a midfielder and won numerous titles with Galatasaray and Be?ikta?, earning 70 caps for the Turkish national team.
Bertu Yıldırım, born on 12 January 2002, is a Turkish professional footballer who has been making waves in the football world with his impressive skills as a forward for Ligue 1 club Rennes and the Turkey national team.
Yıldırım began his senior career with Saryer in the TFF Second League in 2018, where he honed his skills and caught the attention of scouts and coaches. His big break came when he transferred to Hatayspor on 3 June 2021, making his professional debut in a 1-1 Süper Lig tie against Kasımpaşa on 14 August 2021.
The devastating Kahramanmaraş earthquakes on 6 February 2023, which claimed thousands of lives, had a profound impact on the football world. The Süper Lig was suspended for over a week to mourn the victims, and clubs from affected regions, including Hatayspor and Gaziantep FK, withdrew from competition. This led to Yıldırım being loaned to Antalyaspor on 16 February 2023, a move that would prove pivotal in his career.
On 29 August 2023, Yıldırım signed a five-year contract with Ligue 1 side Rennes, a testament to his growing reputation in the football world. His international career has also taken off, with appearances for the Turkey U21s and U23s, including a stint at the 2021 Islamic Solidarity Games. He made his debut for the senior national team, scoring the equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Armenia.
