The Turin giants have slapped an astronomical price tag on Turkish wonderkid Kenan Yıldız
Arsenal have confirmed their serious interest in Juventus forward Kenan Yıldız by submitting an official enquiry to the Turin club.
According to DailyAfc0, the Gunners’ hierarchy have decided to test the waters over a potential high-profile move for the 21-year-old, whom the scouting department at the Emirates considers an ideal addition to the attacking line. However, the Turin giants have taken a firm stance in negotiations, setting a minimum asking price of more than £86 million for one of their key players.
Mikel Arteta is a big admirer of the youngster’s technical ability, dribbling and versatility. Yıldız is capable of posing a threat both on the left flank and in a deeper role behind the central striker. Arsenal’s decision-makers must now weigh up whether such a substantial investment makes financial sense ahead of the winter or summer transfer window.
In the 2025/26 season, Kenan Yıldız was named Serie A’s Best Young Player after recording 12 goals and nine assists. Transfermarkt values the Turkey international at €75 million.
