Reports suggest Arsenal are preparing a deal worth €60m plus a player in hopes of landing Juventus winger.
Arsenal plotting move for Juventus winger
Arsenal have set their sights on one of Serie A’s brightest young players, with Kenan Yildiz firmly on their radar. The Turkish international has been lighting up the league with his flair. He scored twice and assisted four times in just five games this season.
At only 20, he’s shown maturity beyond his age and quickly become a key figure for the Serie A side. Mikel Arteta’s side is already boosted by attacking additions last summer. But, they remain determined to lure him to north London.
Italian outlets claim that talks have started. Although, it’s unclear whether Arsenal are dealing directly with Juventus, the player’s camp, or both. What’s clear is that the Gunners are serious. They ready to table a hefty deal with the inclusion of Leandro Trossard.
Juve face a tricky call
The proposed deal highlights Arsenal’s eagerness, but Juventus won’t find the decision easy. Yildiz is seen as one of their future pillars. The club are reportedly working on tying him down to a long-term contract until 2030. The offer of €60m plus Trossard brings short-term quality, yet it comes with a trade-off.
Trossard is proven in the PL, turns 31 in December and doesn’t carry the same long-term upside. Juventus, therefore, may be tempted but not convinced. Sources from Italy even suggest Arsenal’s push could be used as leverage in Yildiz’s renewal talks.
Either way, Arsenal’s intent signals their willingness to test Juve’s resolve. It shows just how highly they rate the Turkish star.
Author’s Opinion:
This chase feels ambitious but risky for Arsenal. Yildiz has the talent to be a game-changer, yet luring him away from Juventus will be an uphill battle. Unless Juve soften their stance, this looks like one for the long game.
