Liverpool's hopes may have been boosted by a potential deal for Roma defender Zeki Celik. His agent has insisted that a deal with Juventus is in talks.
Gianluca Di Marzio covered his representative's comments today. He stressed that Celik has not signed for Juventus or anyone at the moment.
The Roma full back will be a free agent in the summer transfer window. Due to this many clubs showed interest in him. Liverpool is one of them.

the agent answers
It became clear from those reports that the Italian giants were also keen on the full back due to Roma's free agent status. And they had, like Liverpool, stolen a march on the competition by signing him up early.
Celik's agent, Fazil Ozdemir, has now dismissed those rumours. Instead, he seems to welcome any offer that comes his way.
"The rumors that Zeke has signed a deal with a club are not true," he said.
“He currently plays for a major club, and it is natural that the major teams in Italy and England would show interest in a player competing at this level and his name would be linked with those clubs.
"His contract with Roma expires at the end of the season; however, he has great respect for the club. At this stage, he is not focused on contract or transfer matters. His entire attention and commitment is focused on supporting Roma in achieving its objectives.
"We believe that all other matters will be addressed and resolved in a professional and respectful manner in due course."
