In great form at the start of the season with Juventus, Kenan Yildiz is attracting Europe's biggest clubs. A £77m offer is already being mentioned.
Installed in Juventus Turin's attacking rotation since the 2023-24 season, Kenan Yildiz is taking on a new dimension at the start of this new campaign. Positioned centrally in support of the striker, the 20-year-old Turk is showing himself to be very interesting with 2 goals and 4 assists in 8 matches.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United targeting Kenan Yildiz
Kenan Yildiz has thus been compared by a manager – Vincenzo Montella – to an Italian legend: Alessandro Del Piero. A flattering comparison for the Turkey international, who already features on the radar of Europe's biggest clubs. Chelsea and FC Barcelona are notably on the lookout in this matter for a few weeks.
The Daily Briefing also announces other competitors. Thus, the Juve striker is also in Arsenal‘s sights and is already considered a priority target for Manchester United for the summer 2026 transfer window. The Red Devils are “ready to go higher than Chelsea and Arsenal, perhaps up to €90m (£80m),” indicates the British media.
Juve want to extend Kenan Yildiz
It is a sign that shows the Manchester club's strong interest in the Old Lady's new gem and their desire to recruit him. However, Juve have no intention of letting their protégé leave, who arrived at the club during summer 2022. Thus, according to the same source, the Italian club wish to extend Kenan Yildiz's contract, which however already runs until June 2029.
This new contract proposal concerns a deal until 2030 with “a significant salary increase,” according to the Daily Briefing. For their part, La Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that negotiations between Juve and the Turk are struggling to progress. The Serie A side would nonetheless remain optimistic in this matter, despite interest from Premier League heavyweights.
