Liverpool Transfer News: 'Extraordinary' star set for SHOCK move

Liverpoool have been scoring goals for fun so far this campaign, with each of their forwards chipping in from time to time.

However, while Mohamed Salah leads the line in goal returns, Luis Diaz sits at the other end of the spectrum, as his attacking stats have dried up in recent weeks.

As a left-sides player, Diaz is at risk of being singled out by the Liverpool hierarchy for his ineffectiveness of late, while Cody Gakpo has been able to continue his fine vein of form, backing up Salah's performances.

Across Europe, a number of clubs have kept tabs on the Colombian and as his deal runs out in 2027, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards will have a decision to make on his future.

His current contract includes an incredibly low wage package that has not been amended since his move to Merseyside in 2022 and so as one of the lowest-paid stars in Arne Slot's side, he might also be one of the most dispensable players.

One of the players the Reds have been linked to as a replacement for Diaz may be on his way out the door, creating an opportunity for Liverpool to freshen up the attack.

Juventus want rid of Kenan Yildiz

According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are looking at bringing Sandro Tonali back to Italy.

The midfielder moved to Newcastle just a few years ago, but the latest report suggests that they want him back in January, in a transfer that would cost around €55m.

In order to raise the cash for the move, both Nicolo Fagioli and Kenan Yildiz are set to be on the chopping block, in a brutal ultimatum.

Despite Yildiz being one of the hottest young talents in the world right now at just 19 years old, the report claims that he is specifically being moved on because of "his international appeal, for the enormous capital gain that the operation would guarantee, and for strictly on-field reasons".

If Juventus were to make such a shocking decision to part ways with one of their biggest rising stars, which many would widely consider to be a mistake, then an enormous opportunity would arise for Liverpool to take advantage of.

'Extraordinary' player becomes available for Liverpool

When different clubs were lurking around Juventus' Federico Chiesa last season, their manager at the time Massimiliano Allegri spoke highly of Kenan Yildiz as an attacking asset for the future.

Per Black and White and Read All Over, after Juventus's win over Napoli, he said: "I am happy for Yildiz, Dusan and the whole team. It's an extraordinary group that never gives up.

"Yildiz is young and has enthusiasm, which is needed at these moments. He is wise for his age. I picked him when Chiesa got injured, he is Chiesa's natural replacement."

Since Liverpool went and secured Chiesa's services in the summer, Yildiz has played an increasingly important role for Juve and as such, his admirers have begun to take even more notice of him.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Liverpool are one of the main clubs interested in him, claiming that the asking price was in the region of €80m (£66m).

However now that Juventus are looking to offload the young winger, the Reds might be able to secure him for a lower price.

In addition, when Manchester City visited the Allianz Stadium last week to play Juventus in the Champions League, Yildiz had a starring role in the Blues' 2-0 defeat, assisting the first goal.

Now with four goals and four assists, in addition to the forward's flexible ability to play on both sides of the attack, Liverpool might just have a perfect storm brewing with Yildiz, securing a young attacking talent for a reduced price.

If the reports from Italy are to be believed, then the Reds will have to make their move shortly if they are to bring Yildiz to Merseyside, but in the middle of a title race and a fine start to their European campaign, he could be the boost that Arne Slot needs to get the team safely across the line in as many competitions as possible this season.
