Liverpool, making waves this season, are gearing up for the future as three of their key players approach the final months of their contracts. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Reds, who had a relatively quiet summer in the transfer market, plan to ramp up their activity in the upcoming windows.
With squad stability prioritised during the summer, manager Arne Slot is now actively evaluating options to strengthen the team for the challenges ahead.
Last winter, Liverpool’s only official signing was Federico Chiesa, who has yet to hit his level at Anfield. With Martín Zubimendi turning down a move, it was a relatively quiet transfer window for the Reds. However, one player now catching their eye is Juventus’ rising star Kenan Yildiz, who has been making a name for himself in Italy.
The Turkish youngster could be headed to England
Kenan Yildiz, who joined Juventus from Bayern’s academy, has gradually established himself as a first-team regular. Primarily deployed as a left winger, the Turkish talent also possesses the versatility to excel as a central midfielder. His performances this season have been impressive, but Juventus are reportedly open to selling him for around £32 million to fund a move for Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali.
The youngster may also be inspired by his fellow national teammate Arda Güler, who made a high-profile move to Real Madrid. Such a milestone could motivate Yildiz to test himself in the toughest league, adding to the idea of a potential move to Liverpool.
While Yildiz would bring depth and quality to Liverpool’s attacking setup, the club already boasts a formidable forward line featuring Mohamed Salah, Luis Díaz, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Núñez, and Harvey Elliott. As a result, his signing might not be an immediate necessity.

Liverpool’s reputation for absolute transfer dealings ensures they will thoroughly explore all avenues to strengthen their squad. If they view Kenan Yildiz as a key figure for the team’s long-term success, a move for the talented young midfielder could very well be on the cards.
