Liverpool want to sign midfielder who is ‘more talented than Ronaldo’

Liverpool are looking into the possibility of signing Juventus and Turkey youngster, Kenan Yildiz.

Yildiz, 18, has made his way into the first-team picture at Juventus this season and there are believed to be a number of clubs across Europe tracking him.

However, according to Calciomercato, it is Liverpool who are most keen on Yildiz, who has been recommended to Jurgen Klopp by Jorg Schmadtke.

Yildiz, who can play as an attacking midfielder, a forward, or even wide, is considered one of the top up and coming talents in Serie A.

The Reds are trying to revamp their squad in recent windows and have moved in the summer for younger players like Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch.

Yildiz is only 18 and would represent another young player being added to the blossoming squad at Anfield.

Liverpool have never replaced Roberto Firmino, who left for Saudi Arabia in the summer along with Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.

Yildiz, then, could well be the long-term option for Klopp and his staff on that front.

Better than Cristiano Ronaldo

Little is known about Yildiz over in this country as yet but he’s had quite the billing from Turkey’s under-19s coach.

Speaking about the youngster, Soykan Baskar lauded Yildiz’s ability.

“Two years ago many big clubs were interested in him. Yildiz is more talented than Cristiano Ronaldo. His technique with the ball is superior to that of Portuguese,” he said.

Certainly, then, it seems Yildiz is a player full of ability who could go on to huge things in the game.

If he can harness that talent mentioned here, then Liverpool will have quite a player on their hands if they do sign him.
