Liverpool make a move for young Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz

Liverpool have taken steps to secure the acquisition of Kenan Yildiz, and Juventus are open to considering offers for the highly sought-after teenage talent in the January transfer window.

Despite the mid-point of the January transfer window approaching, Liverpool has yet to make any signings. Sporting Director Jorg Schmadtke, earning trust from Klopp and the Liverpool board, has advocated for an approach to sign the 18-year-old Juventus talent.

Yildiz has already left a significant mark this season with Juventus, featuring in 18 matches across all competitions and scoring five goals.

His notable performances have not only attracted Liverpool but also other clubs like RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund according to Team Talk.

Juventus, keen on reinforcing their midfield this month with links to players like Kalvin Phillips and also Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, could potentially entertain offers for Yildiz to fund such a move.

The Reds have taken proactive steps by making an offer to secure Yildiz’s signature. The competition for the talented attacker’s services is intensifying, certainly making it an interesting storyline to follow as the January transfer window unfolds.
