'Spectacular' player shares where he's expecting to play next season after being linked with Liverpool
Yesterday at 03:00 PM
Liverpool endured a quiet summer transfer window as Arne Slot opted to stick to his guns after replacing Jurgen Klopp at the helm.
However, the Dutchman now has a better knowledge of all his players, so the upcoming transfer windows could well be eventful for the Reds.
Liverpool have a strong squad with the right mix of youth and experience, but that’s not to say they have no room for improvement.
And one of their reported transfer targets has made an honest claim on his future amid transfer links to Anfield.
Liverpool target Kenan Yildiz signals desire to stay at Juventus
On paper, Liverpool are blessed with six attacking options and that is widely regarded as the strongest area of the squad.
However, the Reds have been linked with a number of players in this position, which is an indication that Slot has an ace up his sleeve.
Omar Marmoush is a top target for Liverpool, while Lyon’s Rayan Cherki also has keen admirers at Anfield.
Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz has been in fine form for Thiago Motta this season and recently impressed in the 2-0 UEFA Champions League win against Manchester City.
The Turkish international received the Golden Boy Web Award yesterday and is quickly becoming one of the most exciting attacking prospects in the world.
Earlier this season, Liverpool were told to pay £66m to land Yildiz, but it appears as if the young attacker has his heart set on staying in Turin.
When asked about his future, the Juventus man said (via Fabrizio Romano): "I'm happy at Juventus! Next year? I see myself here to fight for more titles as a Juventus player.”
Yildiz stats this season
Alessandro Del Piero described Yildiz as a spectacular player and the youngster has really come into his own this season.
| Kenan Yildiz stats | Apps | Goals | Assists | Mins played |
| Serie A | 16 | 3 | 3 | 1.116′ |
| UEFA Champions League | 6 | 1 | 1 | 466′ |
He has featured in every Serie A and UEFA Champions League game for Juventus under Motta and has notched up four goals and assists apiece, which is a creditable tally for a youngster making a name for himself.
Yildiz has signaled his desire to remain at Juventus, but Liverpool and a handful of other clubs across Europe will keep a watchful eye on how his career progresses in Turin with a view of making a move in the future.
