Manchester United are reportedly preparing a concrete approach to sign Kenan Yildiz, Juventus’s 19‑year‑old winger tipped as a target for Arsenal. Sources from TEAMtalk reveal United have already initiated early contact with his representatives.
Yıldız began his youth career at Bayern Munich before joining Juve in 2022 as a free agent. He debuted in the senior setup the following year, breaking through amid high expectations.
Earlier this season he scored a memorable brace against Inter Milan—but consistency has eluded him, accumulating just 10 goal contributions in 41 appearances across all competitions.
Juventus view him as a cornerstone of their future—and he’s under contract until 2029. But failing Champions League qualification could force their hand. The report suggest they’d demand around £75 million (€90m) to consider a sale.
It’s more than a United story. Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City are all circling too—each keen to secure Yıldız if Juventus unexpectedly sell as reported by TEAMtalk.
United’s push is urgent. They need reinforcements on the flanks as Antony and Marcus Rashford face potential exits. Yıldız can play wide or centrally, standing 6ft 1in tall with pace, technique, and a goal threat.
This play isn’t about filling a vacancy—it’s about shaping identity. A young visionary to lead the line, to puncture defences, to shift direction. United, Arsenal, Liverpool, City—they’re all looking for something more than an upgrade. They’re chasing a statement.
If Juventus falter in securing European football, Yıldız might just define the next era of a Premier League giant.
