Arsenal are preparing a hefty €100m bid for Juventus’ Turkish talent Kenan Yildiz in an attempt to strengthen their attacking department ahead of the new season.
The Londoners’ coach, Mikel Arteta, sees the 20-year-old as the ideal profile for the left wing of the attack.
Yildiz is considered one of the most promising talents in European football, thanks to his ability to play as a winger, penetrate the center and create danger near the opposing area.
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Arsenal consider the Turk an investment for both the present and the future.
Arteta is looking for more competition and creativity in the offensive department, while Yildiz is regarded as a player with extraordinary potential to become one of the stars of the Premier League.
However, the transfer is expected to be very difficult.
Juventus do not want to give up one of the club’s most valuable assets and consider Yildiz a key part of the long-term project.
After a season where he gained more space and importance in the team, the black and white leaders are determined to keep him in Turin.
Despite this, an offer approaching the €100 million figure would force the Italian club to at least consider the situation.
Arsenal are aware that such deals do not come easily and are prepared to await future developments, particularly Yildiz’s appearances with the Turkish national team at the World Cup.
Juventus will not listen to any offers for Kenan Yildiz
A successful tour could further increase his market value, but it would also confirm Arsenal’s belief that the investment is worth it.
The London club aims to continue its rise towards the elite of European football and is looking for players who can make the difference in the most important matches.
It remains to be seen whether the €100 million offer will be enough to sway the Italian club’s stance and open negotiations for one of the most sought-after talents in European football.
