Juventus attacker Kenan Yildiz has reportedly been linked with a move away from the Italian club in recent weeks.
A report from Tuttosport has claimed that Arsenal have been handed a blow in their pursuit of Kenan Yildiz. Juventus are now uninterested in selling the Turkish attacker but might consider a sale at €80 million.
The 18-year-old has been linked with Liverpool and Manchester United as well. Yildiz has been an important first-team player for Juventus of late, and he could develop into a key player for them in the coming seasons. He has the potential and the attributes to develop into a world-class attacker with the right guidance.
It is no surprise that clubs like Arsenal are keen on securing his services. They need to add more depth to their attack. The 18-year-old is versatile enough to operate as a central attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He could have been the ideal backup option to players like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Odegaard.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal decide to test the waters with an offer in the summer. They have the financial muscle to submit a lucrative proposal to Juventus. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops in the coming months. The Turkish attacker could be attracted to the idea of joining a big club like Arsenal. The opportunity to play in the Premier League can be quite enticing as well.
Yildiz would be a superb future investment
Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have a phenomenal squad and a charismatic manager at their disposal. They have been fighting for the league title since last season and will be able to provide him with the platform to compete for major trophies.
The Gunners are likely to secure Champions League qualification for next season as well. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the player to join them. The 18-year-old would be a solid long term acquisition for Arsenal and if they can sign in for a reasonable price at the end of the season, the move could prove to be a major bargain in the long run.
Although Juventus are unwilling to sell the player in the summer, they could be tempted if a lucrative proposal in the region of €80 million is presented. The Italian outfit have always been open to selling key players for the right price.
