Zeki Celik has been one of AS Roma’s most important players this season. His contract situation is now attracting attention from Liverpool.
The Turk has played 23 times in all competitions this season. He has contributed to four goals, firmly establishing himself as the first-choice at right wing-back. He has also filled in at centre-back during times of need.
The 28-year-old’s current Roma contract runs out in June. So far, there have been no signs of a renewal.
Tuttomercatoweb report that Roma do have a draft proposal on the table. However, Liverpool are keeping an eye on the wing-back’s situation.
It is believed that the right-back is currently not listening to any offers but that can change soon.
Liverpool haven’t tabled any offer of their own but that too can change. A move to the Reds is very likely to appeal to the Turkey international. Time is running out for Roma and this can force suitors to come forward.
Zeki Celik would ideally like to say at Roma. But his situation has been described as rather ‘difficult’, even if there have been informal discussions over a three-year deal.
It shows that Roma do recognise his value but there are things going on in the background holding back a renewal. Juventus were mentioned as a candidate in January and those can be indications that Liverpool can face competition.
