Quoting KLM:

can you help me please to understand it please



A few corrections to help you understand

o zaman can also mean 'in that case'.

ilgilenmen is formed like this:

ilgilenme = the shortened form of a full verb, and is a nounstate. It means 'the act of being interested'. Just like you have konuşmak (to speak) and konuşma (speaking, speech, conversation), yüzmek (to swim) yüzme havuzu (swimming pool).

After these verbal nouns, you can put possesive suffixes:
-Benim konuşmam - my speaking
-Senin konuşman - your speaking
etc.

Benim onunla konuşmam lazım
-I have to talk with him.

So

Senin ilgilenmen lazım
- You have to be interested /show interest/be attracted to.


Hope you understand it now
