Here is a roundup of the top Liverpool news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Kenan Yildiz, Jurrien Timber and Marc Guehi that we think you guys may have missed….
Liverpool have stepped up their transfer activity, with new reports from Italy claiming the Gunners have made calls to Juventus to investigate the possibility of signing highly rated forward Kenan Yıldız.
The 20-year-old Turkish international has become one of Europe’s most exciting young attacking talents, and his rapid rise has put multiple Premier League clubs on alert, and LIVERPOOL who have been monitoring him for months, have now begun to explore what it would take to bring him to Anfield.
Why Arsenal Want Kenan Yıldız
Arne Slot is more than happy with the attack that he already has this season, but with the injury to Aleksander Isak, the Dutchman is reportedly ready to add some more to that Reds attack.
But Yildaz’s Creativity, Direct, running, Goal-scoring threat, Depth behind their starting attackers, Yıldız fits the profile perfectly and the fact the the the Juventus starlet can play As a left winger, As a No. 10, As a second striker, Or wide on the right make him a standout talent capable of fitting into Liverpool’s fluid attacking system.
Juventus’ Stance on a Sale
Juventus are reluctant to let Yıldız go and see him as a central part of their long-term rebuild. However, financial restrictions could force the Italian giants to listen to big offers, with reports suggesting strong Premier League interest may tempt them.
Yıldız signed a new contract last year, but that has not deterred clubs from contacting Juve — and LIVERPOOL are now among those testing the waters.
Could a Deal Actually Happen?
according to Metro Sport, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have been making calls to encourage Yildiz to consider a switch to the Premier League, but At this stage, Liverpool have only made calls and asked for information about price, contract situation, and Juventus’ willingness to negotiate.
No formal offer has been made yet, but this type of early contact often signals serious interest, but given Juventus’ financial situation and Liverpool’s desire to build a younger, high-ceiling attack, this is a story that could accelerate quickly.
IcFootballNews Says…
Kenan Yıldız is one of the most exciting young forwards in Europe, and LIVERPOOL interest makes complete sense. He’s versatile, technically elite, and still has huge room for development.
A deal won’t be easy — Juventus don’t want to lose him — but if the Reds push hard and structure an attractive package, this transfer could become possible. Expect this rumour to grow as the window continues in the coming weeks.
LIVERPOOL TOLD SIGN TIMBER
Here is the latest Liverpool news and transfer update as reports claim Liverpool have been told to launch a bold move for Gunners star defender Jurrien Timber to help solve their defensive issues this season.
Timber has established himself as a key part of Mikel Arteta’s fragile defence, playing at both right-back and centre-back, to help the Arsenal’ cement themselves as Premier League title favourites.
LIVERPOOL, the reigning champions, meanwhile have struggled for consistency all season, especially at the back having already shipped 26 goals in 18 games. Captain Virgil van Dijk appears a shadow of his former self, while Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit continues to be keenly felt.
That has led to all sorts of speculation and rumours in the media which have claimed that LIVERPOOL will once again delve into that transfer kitty and add some more players to the side, with a defender and attacker possibly on the agenda for boss Arne Slot.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT TIMBER JOINING LIVERPOOL?
And Timber has been highlighted as an answer to Liverpool’s defensive woes, and the Reds have now been told to make a move and sign the Dutchman: “When I look at the defence and who Liverpool should sign, personally I think they need a centre-back and a right back,” Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock told Aceodds.
WILL TIMBER LEAVE FOR LIVERPOOL?
Look, Timber is very happy at Arsenal, he is part of a solid squad that could win that Premier League title, so unless something stunning happens this transfer window, he will not be a player that ends up at Liverpool.
We will probably not see any exits from Arsenal this transfer window, they will look to add to the side and that is that.
IcFootballnews Says…
Timber to LIVERPOOL is not going to happen guys, it just wont, Liverpool have other targets that they can realistically get. It really is as simple as that.
Arsenal on the other hand will look to sign players that will make an impact on the squad as Mikel Arteta wants a long run in that Champions League, and really wants to win that Premier League title.
MARC GUEHI DECISION MADE
Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi is expected to stay at Crystal Palace in January and run down the final six months of his contract at Selhurst Park, amid reports that Liverpool are still interested in getting a transfer deal done for the defender.
LIVERPOOL have been spending some big money in the last couple of transfer windows and have started to look like a side that could challenge for that Premier League title in the next couple of seasons, but they have looked very shaky at the back this season under Arne Slot
Guehi has established himself as one of the most highly regarded and sought-after defenders in Premier League football since leaving boyhood side Chelsea for Palace in 2021.
A series of strong performances at Euro 2024 only enhanced Guehi’s reputation and the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool were all credited with an interest following those performances for his country a few seasons ago.
Palace managed to fend off their Premier League rivals to keep hold of Guehi and handed the centre-half the captain’s armband ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, but BBC Sport report that Chelsea, LIVERPOOL and Manchester City are leading the race for Guehi, who will be available on a free transfer in the summer.
Foreign clubs such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan are also monitoring the situation. Guehi can discuss a Bosman move abroad from January 1.
However – the reports have claimed that despite all the interest this transfer window, it is much more likely that Guehi will stay at Palace until the end of the season and then will have his pick of clubs to choose from.
IcFootballnews Says…
Guehi is a quality defender that has the ability to play for clubs like LIVERPOOL and Chelsea, so it will be interesting to see just who he chooses if an offer arrives in the coming weeks.
At the end of the day, he is ready for that next step that is for sure and when offers do start coming in, Palace may make the decision to try and take some money this transfer window rather than letting him leave the club at the end of the season.
But he needs to make the right career choice, he needs to make sure that he joins a club that will give him the game time he needs.
