Aston Villa and other Premier League clubs have established contact over a move for Kenan Yildiz, with Serie A giants Juventus demanding €75-80 million to part ways with him.
According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Kenan Yildiz is the subject of interest from Aston Villa. The Villans are scouring the market for a versatile attacker heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Juventus wonderkid. Meanwhile, the Serie A giants want around €75-80 million to part ways with the Turkish international.
Kenan Yildiz and his career so far
Kenan Yildiz has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the world since breaking into the first-team squad at Juventus. A native of Regensburg, the teenage sensation spent most of his formative years in Germany, passing through the academies at SV Sallern Regensburg and Bayern Munich before joining Juventus in July 2022.
The 19-year-old did not take long to break into the first-team squad at Juventus, making his senior bow at the onset of the 2023/24 season. Since then, Yildiz has come leaps and bounds, establishing himself as a pivotal figure for the Serie A giants. The youngster has turned out nearly 50 times thus far this term for the Bianconeri while chipping in with six goals and four assists.
Meanwhile, Yildiz’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the Turkish international, with Aston Villa among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Aston Villa’s interest in Kenan Yildiz is understandable. The Villans are scouring the market for a versatile attacker heading into the summer transfer window. While Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford have been exceptional since arriving on loan deals in the winter transfer window, it is unclear if they will complete permanent moves to Aston Villa this summer.
So, Yildiz has emerged as a viable target for Aston Villa, with the West Midlands club establishing contact over a possible move in the summer transfer window. However, the German-born wonderkid will not come cheap, with Juventus demanding around €75-80 million to part ways with him.
It is unclear if Aston Villa will have the funds to afford a deal worth €75-80 million to sign the 19-year-old Turkish international. So, it will be interesting to see if the Juventus wonderkid leaves the Serie A giants to move to the Premier League in the summer transfer window.
