€100m Yildiz Valuation
Juventus Set €100m Price Tag for Kenan Yildiz Amid Arsenal and Real Madrid Interest
Anonymous
Juventus have no plans to sell Kenan Yildiz in January and want to build around the 21-year-old after extending his contract to 2030. Arsenal, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are monitoring the Turkey international, with a fee of about €100 million reported. Juventus could consider a summer sale if they fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League, but no deal is confirmed. Yildiz is recovering from foot surgery and is expected to return next month; coach Luciano Spalletti has compared his unpredictability to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and said he needs more playing time. Arsenal view Yildiz as a possible option on the left, while Real Madrid and Bayern have also tracked him.
Key Points
1
Yildiz said he did not feel trusted during his 11 years at Bayern, contrasting that with the trust he has received during his four years at Juventus: “That's something I lacked [during my time at] Bayern.”
2
Before Yildiz stayed at Juventus, Arsenal reportedly made enquiries and were willing to include Gabriel Martinelli in a swap deal; Martinelli later moved to Al Hilal.
3
Real Madrid’s reported summer interest is framed as adding competition on the left: the club would want Yildiz and Vinícius Júnior to compete for the position, rather than necessarily having Yildiz replace him.
4
Before his foot injury, Yildiz led Juventus last season with 14 goals and 10 assists. This season, he has played only 69 minutes across all competitions after August surgery to repair a fractured metatarsal.
