Liverpool are preparing for a pivotal winter as tensions with Mohamed Salah reach an unprecedented level. According to BILD, the club has placed Juventus prodigy Kenan Yildiz near the top of its transfer list for January.
His sudden rise in European football has made him an appealing option for a team facing a delicate transition. The fracture became visible after Liverpool’s chaotic 3-3 draw at Elland Road.

Salah’s public outburst against the coaching staff shocked supporters and exposed an internal problem that had been brewing for weeks. Despite his recent contract renewal, his form has dipped.

Arne Slot benched him for three straight matches, a move the Egyptian interpreted as a clear warning. Liverpool’s hierarchy has since taken a firm stance. The board fully supports Slot and has opened talks with Salah’s camp to plan an exit after the Africa Cup of Nations.
The tournament runs from 21 December to 18 January, giving the club a limited window. Several Saudi clubs have already shown interest. A move to the United States seems unlikely because Salah wants to keep a high competitive level before the next World Cup.
Yildiz Emerges as the Face of Liverpool’s New Era

Liverpool understand they must move quickly and are ready to offer 100M€ for Turkish talented star. As BILD reports, Kenan Yildiz has become the preferred option to take over a central role in the attack.
The young Turkish playmaker has impressed Europe with his creativity, sharp movement, and ability to break defensive lines. His number 10 shirt at Juventus reflects his growing importance in Turin.

Juventus are trying to renew his contract and hope to keep him. Yildiz expects an annual salary of five to six million euros. However, officials in Turin privately acknowledge that a large Premier League offer could derail negotiations.

Liverpool invested heavily last summer and remain willing to make another significant effort to secure Yildiz. From a sporting perspective, he fits the club’s rebuilding plan. He offers youth, vision, versatility, and a fearless style that suits the Premier League.
His long-term potential also makes him more attractive than other options with higher costs and lower growth. Salah’s departure will close a glorious chapter, but Liverpool see an opportunity to build a new identity. Yildiz represents that future.
The chance to succeed Salah and shine in England could tempt the Juventus star. For Liverpool, his arrival would signal ambition and the start of a fresh attacking era.
