Liverpool are reportedly expressing strong interest in Juventus’ young talent, Kenan Yildiz, but faces competition from Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, as per La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
Yildiz, who gained attention while playing for Bayern Munich, joined Juventus and has made five appearances this season, impressing for both his club and the Turkish national team, notably scoring in their victory over Germany, securing a qualification spot for Euro 2024.

Liverpool keen on signing Kenan Yildiz
According to reports, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is particularly keen on Yildiz, but Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig are also closely monitoring the 18-year-old.
Liverpool’s sporting director, Jorg Schmadtke, has been tracking Yildiz since his Bayern days and has recommended him as a potential addition to Klopp’s team.
Despite Yildiz being under contract until 2027, Juventus may consider offers of around £25.6 million, seeking funds after missing out on European competition last season.

Liverpool, currently in a rebuilding phase, is strategically addressing squad needs, especially in defense following Joel Matip’s injury.
Liverpool are actively pursuing young talents, aligning with its tradition of nurturing promising players. In this case, the Reds’ focus is on Yildiz, reflecting their strategic approach to long-term success.
The speed at which Liverpool secures the deal remains uncertain, given the financial capabilities of other interested parties.
The potential pathway to the first team could be a decisive factor in Yildiz’s choice among the interested clubs.
