Italian giants Juventus have rejected transfer offers from Liverpool and several other clubs received for young attacker Kenan Yildiz.
Frustration in the Transfer Market
The winter transfer window has been pretty dull for the Reds as they are yet to make any signing. The club along with other PL clubs only have time to sign players till February 1.
The PL table-toppers are also the club with the smallest squad size this season. There are several departments for the Merseyside giants which have to be worked upon by the deadline day.
Departments for Consideration
The first and foremost priority should be to strengthen the falling backline which is under great threat due to injury issues. The midfield could also do some work with new additions.
However, in the long run, the attack could become an underlying issue. Star forward Mohamed Salah is anticipated to leave Anfield in the summer of this year. So, it has become even more desperate to bring in a replacement for the Egyptian.
Juventus Reject Liverpool for Kenan Yildiz
According to a report published in the print edition of Italian media outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport on Saturday, even though LFC have ‘moved in’ for Juventus star Kenan Yildiz, their official approach have been turned down by the Italian side.
The Bianconeri have reportedly also rejected offers from Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig. The club apparently wants to keep the 18-year-old at Turin.
The Old Lady are even ready to offload Moise Kean in order to retain Yildiz. The youngster has already made 11 appearances for Juventus, scoring 3 goals across all competition. He also became the youngest foreign goalscorer to score in Serie A in the club’s history (stats via Transfermarkt).
The Turkish international has already made a name for himself showing the world his potential. While a reported fee of £30m would be a bit much for someone of his caliber, who is yet to prove himself in the big stage, the hype to acquire him is well-justified.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
