Liverpool have been backed to make a move for Kenan Yildiz
Liverpool are eyeing a move for Juventus youngster Kenan Yildiz. The 18-year-old midfielder, dissatisfied with his limited playing time under manager Massimiliano Allegri, is exploring options for a potential transfer.
Drawing comparisons to the renowned Mesut Ozil, the Turkish international has made six appearances off the bench this season but is seeking a more prominent role on the field. Frustrated with the lack of game time at Juventus, he has reportedly instructed his agent to explore opportunities with other clubs.
The 18-year-old winger, dissatisfied with his limited playing time under manager Massimiliano Allegri, is exploring options for a potential transfer. Corriere dello Sport via ESPN suggests that Liverpool have displayed “concrete interest” in acquiring Yildiz’s services.
The young player’s talent has not gone unnoticed, with Liverpool joining the race for his signature, as earlier mentioned. Jorg Schmadtke, Liverpool’s sporting director, had previously expressed interest in Yildiz during his tenure at Wolfsburg, further highlighting the player’s potential and appeal.
Yildiz to the Reds?
Yildiz’s journey began in the youth ranks of Bayern Munich, a club renowned for nurturing emerging talent. However, in 2022, he made a pivotal decision to move to Turin and join Juventus, where he hoped to continue his development at the highest level.
The comparison to Mesut Ozil adds an intriguing layer to Yildiz’s narrative. If Liverpool manage to secure his services, they could potentially have a dynamic and versatile player in their ranks, reminiscent of Ozil’s creative prowess on the field.
While Yildiz’s potential move to Arsenal has also been mentioned in the rumour mill, Liverpool’s “concrete interest” suggests a keen desire to bring the Turkish midfielder to Anfield. The coming weeks may unfold negotiations and discussions that could shape Liverpool’s midfield dynamics.
