Juventus remain adamant they won’t sell Kenan Yildiz unless Arsenal meet their €100million (£84m) valuation according to Metro.
The talented Turkish forward has impressed with nine goals and eight assists during the 2024/25 campaign.

At just 20 years old, Yildiz has become one of Serie A’s brightest young stars under manager Igor Tudor. Arsenal, eager to strengthen their frontline, have identified Yildiz as a key summer transfer target.

The Gunners have sent scouts to observe Kenan Yildiz on multiple occasions throughout the season. Their new sporting director, Andrea Berta, is driving the pursuit of top-level attacking talent.

Yildiz tops Arsenal’s wishlist alongside Spain winger Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao. The London club is also in talks to recruit scout Matteo Tognozzi, who once helped bring Yildiz to Juve.

His potential arrival could be instrumental in luring the Turkish star to the Emirates Stadium. However, Juventus are taking no chances and are preparing new contract talks with Yildiz’s representatives.

General manager Damien Comolli is leading the club’s effort to secure Yildiz’s long-term future. His current deal already runs until 2029, making Juve’s negotiating position very strong.

Yildiz recently spoke positively about working under Igor Tudor, praising the Croatian’s impact on the team. “He gave us energy; we’ve been working hard,” Yildiz told DAZN Italia, reflecting on his season.

He also dismissed pressure surrounding the iconic No.10 shirt, expressing joy at wearing it. Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, has hinted at a major summer rebuild at Arsenal to deepen squad depth.

“It’s going to be a big one,” Arteta said, promising fans exciting developments in the coming weeks. Arsenal’s ambitions are clear — but prying Yildiz away from Juventus may prove a steep uphill battle.
