Luciano Spalletti has likened Juventus sensation Kenan Yildiz to Paris Saint-Germain attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, highlighting their shared attacking flair and sheer unpredictability. The Bianconeri boss worked with the Georgian during their title-winning campaign at Napoli, and he believes his current teenage forward boasts an identical creative spark.
Juventus chief executive Giovanni Carnevali has offered strong backing to sidelined forward Kenan Yildiz, insisting the playmaker possesses all the qualities required to emulate iconic figure Alessandro Del Piero. The Turkish international is currently undergoing rehabilitation following foot surgery, leaving the Bianconeri without their creative talisman.
Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti has delivered a defiant message to Arsenal and any other potential suitors regarding the future of Kenan Yildiz. The Italian tactician insists that the Turkish international remains a fundamental part of the long-term project in Turin, regardless of the figures being mentioned in the transfer market.
Arsenal are reportedly scouting Juventus star Kenan Yildiz as they search for frontline reinforcements this summer. Having missed out on Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior, the Gunners have reignited their interest in the Turkey international following his impressive campaign in Italy.
Arsenal's pursuit of Vinicius Junior always seemed like a stretch. It emerged in a bombshell revelation in late July that the Gunners were 'exploring' the possibility of striking a deal for the Real Madrid superstar as they seek to make a marquee left-wing signing, but those explorations ultimately came to nothing as he agreed a new contract at the Bernabeu. So, where do they turn next?
Juventus sensation Kenan Yildiz has opened up on his controversial departure from Bayern Munich, claiming the decision to swap Germany for Italy was an easy one to make. Despite spending over a decade in the Bavarian youth ranks, the Turkey international felt his path to the first team was constantly blocked, encouraging him to head towards Turin, where his career has skyrocketed.
The January transfer window is fast approaching, and clubs will once again be scrambling to strengthen for the second half of the season. In the 2025 winter market, £1.2 billion ($1.4bn) was spent across Europe's top leagues and the English Championship, the highest mark in seven years, with Manchester City accounting for £191 million ($256m) of that amount alone.
Premier League leaders Arsenal are ready to rival Real Madrid in the transfer race for Kenan Yildiz in the January window amid his contract hold-up at Juventus. The Bianconeri's contract talks with their star attacker have hit a standstill as Yildiz is demanding a significant pay rise in his new deal, which is far beyond the Italian club’s current offer.
Juventus face fresh uncertainty as contract talks with Kenan Yildiz hit a standstill, with the highly-rated forward demanding a pay rise far beyond the club’s current offer. His dip in form, ongoing knee issues and the team’s faltering attack have complicated negotiations, while top European clubs circle and Yildiz weighs his long-term future amid Juventus' struggle for stability.
