Juventus refuses to sell Kenan Yildiz despite Arsenal interest

Juventus has made clear it will not part with Turkish forward Kenan Yildiz, even as Premier League club Arsenal has shown keen interest in the 21‑year‑old. Reports cite Arsenal’s attempts to negotiate a transfer, but Juventus insists the player remains central to its rebuilding plans and is not for sale. Yildiz, a former Bayern Munich academy product, recently extended his contract with a significant salary increase, underscoring the club’s confidence in his potential. While his World Cup showing was modest and Turkey exited early, his domestic performances—11 goals across all competitions this season—have kept him on the radar of several European clubs. Juventus is also reported to be targeting striker Alexander Sørloth as part of its offensive overhaul, but it intends to retain Yildiz as a key pillar of the squad.

The stance leaves the player’s future uncertain, with Arsenal likely to monitor the situation closely. Any move would require a substantially higher offer than Juventus currently deems acceptable.
