Report: Liverpool Have Eyes Set on Mo Salah’s ‘Heir’ with 33 Goals & 21 Assists; ‘Ready to Offer’ £67m
Liverpool are already focusing on the upcoming season, determined to maintain their superiority in both domestic and European tournaments.
With a commanding 15-point lead at the top of the Premier League, the Reds have also earned a place in the Carabao Cup final and hold the upper hand against Paris Saint-Germain after the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 encounter.
With Mohamed Salah’s contract approaching its expiration without an agreement on an extension, Liverpool are actively seeking potential replacements, with Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz emerging as a primary target.
According to TuttoJuve, the Merseyside club are preparing a £67 million bid for the promising Turkish talent, viewing him as a long-term successor to Salah.
Yildiz recently secured his future with Juventus by signing a contract extension until 2029 and has been making a significant impact in Serie A.
The 19-year-old, who began his footballing journey in Bayern Munich’s academy, joined Juventus in 2022. His rapid development saw him rise through the ranks and secure a spot in the first team.
In August 2023, Yildiz made his Serie A debut and quickly earned a place in Juventus’ history by becoming the club’s youngest-ever foreign goalscorer in the league.
His impressive ascent extended to European competitions, where he scored his first Champions League goal, breaking Alessandro Del Piero’s record as the youngest player to score for Juventus in the tournament.
This season, Yildiz has recorded six goals and four assists in 40 appearances across all competitions, bringing his career total to 33 goals and 21 assists across various clubs and levels.
His technical prowess, speed, and creativity make him an attractive option for Liverpool’s attacking strategy under Arne Slot.
Liverpool remain vigilant in tracking Yildiz’s situation but face competition from other Premier League giants, including Manchester City, who are reportedly prepared to make a move for the talented winger.
