Arsenal Renew Push for Kenan Yildiz as Juventus Says He Is Not For Sale
Juventus have publicly rejected renewed Arsenal interest and appear determined to keep the 21-year-old despite reports of club financial strain.
Overview
- Reports from Italian outlet TuttoJuve, carried by multiple English sites, say Arsenal have made a fresh effort to sign Kenan Yildiz but Juventus have already turned down approaches and labelled him untouchable.
- Yildiz recently signed a long-term deal at Juventus and is widely discussed as a high-value asset with a reported market range of roughly £85m to £100m.
- Sources cite his on-field impact last season as 11 goals and 10 assists in 47 appearances, which underpins both Juventus’ desire to keep him and Arsenal’s interest.
- Some reports say Juventus majority shareholder John Elkann personally intervened to block an earlier bid, though that detail comes from limited-source reporting and lacks broad verification.
- The situation is a stalemate for now because Juventus say they will not sell, but coverage notes the club’s missed Champions League revenue could create future pressure to change their stance if bids rise sharply.
