A new chapter in the transfer market is looming from Turin, with Kenan Yildiz as the absolute protagonist. The 20-year-old Turkish international winger has now attracted the attention of Arsenal, and Juventus has set an impressive price clause: between 80 and 100 million euros.

Arsenal enters the scene for Kenan Yildiz

Arsenal has formally contacted Juventus to explore the possibility of signing Kenan Yildiz. His agent and the Gunners' officials have reportedly started preliminary discussions to gauge the player's willingness to make the leap to the Premier League.

The interest is not new: a few months ago, Chelsea tried to sign him, but the offer was turned down by Juventus. Now, Arsenal focuses its ambition on the Turkish winger as a future asset to bolster its attack.

Juventus sets an elite price in the transfer market

Juventus believes that Kenan Yildiz is not for sale for anything less than a stellar figure. The required valuation ranges between 80 and 100 million euros, and some Italian media even raise the price to 100-120 million if the operation is considered later on.

Just this summer, Juve rejected a proposal from Chelsea, which was around 65-70 million. The Turin club insists that, while acknowledging Arsenal's interest, they do not intend to part with the player unless an irresistible offer arrives.

Furthermore, Juventus is already working on extending Kenan Yildiz's contract to protect him from future approaches. With a contract in place until 2029, the board aims to establish him as a cornerstone of the project.

The sporting value and international projection

The surprising rise of Kenan Yildiz is no accident. In international competitions with Juventus, the Turk has shown his goal-scoring ability and versatility to play as a winger, attacking midfielder, or second striker.

For example, in the Club World Cup, he was outstanding: he scored a decisive brace against Wydad Casablanca. He also scored against Al-Ain and was crucial in Juventus' victories in that tournament. His performances have elevated his status as an emerging gem in European football.

His stellar moment in a Derby d'Italia stands out in his resume as well, coming off the bench to score two goals and secure a 4-4 draw. Such feats emphasize why clubs like Arsenal are keeping an eye on him.

Could the transfer happen this season?

Arsenal now faces the challenge of convincing Juventus and the player himself. To finalize this deal, they will have to overcome not only Turin's financial resistance but also the player's entourage's expectations.

The European transfer market is closely watching this struggle. If Arsenal manages to gather the resources and persuade all parties, an eye-catching move could materialize in this window.

But for now, Turin's board remains firm: Kenan Yildiz is a key piece of the project, and his price reflects that. Only an exceptional offer could alter this stance. Arsenal appears on the horizon, ready to challenge Juventus, with the ambition to convince the promising Turkish winger Kenan Yildiz.
