Liverpool enters the race for a young Juve sensation

As per Gazzetta dello Sport, the Premier League club is in the race to get Kenan Yildiz, from Juventus. The striker, who is deemed to be superior to Cristiano Ronaldo, emerges as a dominating midfielder who has attacking capabilities. Yildiz plays for the Turkish national Team and its U19 technical director Sokyan Basar believes the Germany-born athlete is more talented than former Juventus Striker Cristiano Ronaldo. 

"His technique with the ball at his feet is superior to that of the Portuguese," Basar said via Goal.com

Earlier in the season, it was believed that Juve might sign players in January and balance the books by sacrificing Yıldız for about $44 million.

Liverpool.com's official website has shared a remark on the club's chances of signing the 

18-year-old Turkish midfielder.

Liverpool.com says: 'Yıldız is undoubtedly a talent for the future, yet with Liverpool stacked in attack, the chances of the club signing him in the near future appear slim. Moreover, it's been stated that Juve will look to offload other players to ease the financial burden following Yıldız's explosion into the first team. A move might have looked likely several months ago, this is now no longer the case.'

The Reds may not rule out from the race entirely and keep a close eye on the striker, and it is yet to see what happens down the road.
