Liverpool are recently reported to be one of the clubs to meet with the agent of Juventus attacking midfielder Kenan Yildiz.
The Turkish international has recently established himself as one of Europe’s most exciting young players and it may be difficult for Juve to keep him.

The Turkish international has progressed well in Serie A, and while Juve are a big club, the Premier League has recently become the most attractive destination for top players.

LFC signed Florian Wirtz in that position this summer, but things haven’t quite clicked yet, but it’s unclear whether that’s a player issue or Arne Slott’s tactics, and in any case they’re unlikely to give up on such a huge investment any time soon.
United would do well to build around Yildiz, and he could do well to go there to secure a key role and regular playing time.
