Arsenal is reportedly in contact with Kenan Yildiz's agent, but securing the signature of this young talent will require the Gunners to pay a huge fee.
The Gunners spent nearly 300 million Euros in the recent summer transfer window, yet their ambition to strengthen the squad remains strong. According to Italian media, coach Mikel Arteta aims to bring Kenan Yildiz to the Emirates to boost the attack.
Sources from Tutto Juve reveal that Arsenal has made initial approaches to Yildiz’s agent. Juventus values the 20-year-old player between 80 and 100 million Euros, reflecting the Turin club’s high expectations for his future.
However, Juventus has no intention of letting him go. Despite interest from several top European clubs, the black-and-white striped team is preparing to offer a new contract with generous terms to retain their prized asset. Currently, Yildiz’s contract with Juventus runs until 2029, indicating a long-term commitment from both sides.
Yildiz truly emerged as a standout player for Juventus last season. At 20 years old, he scored 12 goals and provided 9 assists, playing a key role in maintaining the Turin club’s position in Serie A. This season, his impressive form continues with 2 goals and 4 assists in just 5 matches.
Yildiz’s strength lies in his versatility, as he can effectively play as a central striker, attacking midfielder, or winger. This makes the Turkish player an extremely flexible option for coaches. His rapid development in both technical skills and tactical awareness has earned him recognition as one of Europe’s most promising talents currently.
With his outstanding form and growing influence, it’s no surprise that Yildiz has caught Arsenal’s attention. However, to convince Juventus to release him, the English club will certainly have to pay a substantial sum, potentially up to the current valuation of 100 million Euros.
This weekend, Juventus will face Atalanta in a notable Serie A match before starting their Champions League campaign with an away game against Villarreal. This will be another opportunity for Yildiz to showcase and strengthen his status in the Italian giant’s squad.
