Liverpool Linked with Young Attackers in January Transfer Window

As the January transfer window approaches, Liverpool has been linked with several promising young attackers, including Maximilian Beier from Hoffenheim.

No Signings Expected Yet

Although there is no confirmation of any signings from Liverpool, speculation about future moves continues. Reports from Italy and Germany suggest that the club is in search of an attacker.

Maximilian Beier on Liverpool’s Radar

SportBILD reports that Liverpool is interested in Hoffenheim’s 21-year-old striker, Maximilian Beier. Hoffenheim’s sporting director, Alexander Rosen, has described Beier as one of the “absolute shooting stars” of the season. Beier has scored six goals and provided four assists in 15 games so far this season. It is expected that he will be sold in the summer to balance the books. Liverpool has Beier on their list, and he is available for €30 million (£25.7m) due to a release clause in his contract.

Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz Presented as an Option

According to CalcioMercato, Liverpool’s sporting director Jorg Schmadtke has presented Juventus’ attacking midfielder, Kenan Yildiz, as an option to Jurgen Klopp. Yildiz spent 10 years in the Bayern Munich academy before joining Juventus in 2022, which explains Schmadtke’s ongoing interest. La Gazzetta dello Sport also confirms Liverpool’s interest in Yildiz, along with Arsenal, Dortmund, and RB Leipzig. Juventus may accept an offer of €30m (£25.7m) due to “budgetary needs.”

Lewis Ferguson as Another Target

Il BiancoNero suggests that Liverpool is also interested in Bologna’s Scottish international, Lewis Ferguson. The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has three goals and four assists in 15 games this season, along with 10 caps for Scotland. Juventus and Lazio are also reportedly interested in Ferguson.

Conclusion

While it remains to be seen if Liverpool is genuinely interested in Beier, Yildiz, or Ferguson, these young attackers are worth keeping an eye on as the transfer window unfolds.
