Liverpool FC are reportedly intensifying their interest in Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz, with the 18-year-old catching the eye in Juve’s recent 6-1 victory over Salernitana.
The Reds have been linked to Yildiz since last month, with Sporting Director Jorg Schmadtke said to be a keen admirer and having recommended the young talent to Jurgen Klopp.
During Thursday night’s match, Yildiz showcased his exceptional skills with a stunning solo goal. Positioned on the left channel, approximately 40 yards from goal, the Turkish international navigated through a tight defense, expertly evading two Salernitana defenders before entering the penalty area.
Despite facing three more defenders, Yildiz seamlessly glided past them and unleashed a powerful right-footed shot that beat the goalkeeper.
Kenan Yildiz attracts interest from Liverpool – A Talent for the Future
The mesmerizing goal (posted by Viaplay UK on) highlights Yildiz’s determination to secure a prominent role in Juventus’ first team. Despite limited starts under Max Allegri, the former Bayern Munich prospect is reportedly seeking more playing time and may consider alternatives if opportunities remain scarce.
However, Liverpool, while expressing interest in Yildiz, may not be the ideal destination for the left-side right-footed forward.
Anfield boasts a competitive roster with Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo already occupying roles on the left flank.
Although Yildiz’s recent stellar performance could attract suitors, Liverpool’s current lineup raises questions about the youngster’s potential playing time.
Despite potential challenges at Liverpool, Yildiz’s remarkable goal against Salernitana has likely increased his chances of securing more opportunities at the Allianz Stadium under Allegri’s guidance.
As speculation surrounding Yildiz’s future continues, his exceptional goal-scoring ability ensures the promising forward will attract attention from various clubs eager to secure his talents for the future.
