Last week, we covered claims from Italy that Arsenal are one of the clubs who have knocked on Juventus’ door for Kenan Yildiz. It was also reported the Gunners have made contact with his entourage over a future transfer.
The Premier League side’s desire to sign the forward is backed up by Tutto Juve, who then provide the latest.
Yildiz has a contract lasting until 2029, and the report say he’s valued at €80-100m.
It’s claimed ‘Arsenal want Yildiz’ who has extended his impressive run from last season, when he managed 12 goals and nine assists. He has two goals and four assists from five games so far.
His performances would have convinced Mikel Arteta’s side to include him in their agenda, even though they have strengthened their attack in the summer window.
There are other clubs keeping an eye on the Turkey international and Arsenal would have compete with them for the big signing.
Tutto Juve say that at this moment in time, there are ‘no possibilities’ for the Gunners, likely because the Turin club have no plans to sell him.
Juventus’ desire is to tie him down to a new contract, which isn’t mentioned by the outlet. Earlier this month, Calciomercato reported Juventus want to extend Yildiz’s contract until 2030 and offer a salary of €5m net per year.
