Earlier this month, Gazzetta dello Sport reported Kenan Yildiz’s contract situation at Juventus is complicating his future. Arsenal have repeatedly been named as candidates to land the Turkish talent.
The attacker has had an impressive Serie A season. He has two goals and three assists, also contributing to two goals in the Champions League.
While Yildiz’s influence has faded a little in the past few weeks, the youngster remains a starter under Luciano Spalletti.
Today’s TuttoSport looks at the situation, with the 20-year-old’s Juve contract running out in 2029.
The newspaper believe there are question marks over whether the Old Lady can accommodate Yildiz’s ambitions. The issue is not purely financial, and is related to whether Juve can challenge at all fronts and at the highest level.
Arsenal, as of now, are ‘ahead of all in the race’ for the youngster. Chelsea remain interested, having previously had an approach rejected in the summer.
The player is seeking certain guarantees about his future, with Juve still keen on making him the face of the club.
There is no indication of how much Arsenal might have to pay for the Turkey international. But this is an ever-evolving situation, with murmurs around Yildiz’s situation constantly growing.
Gazzetta have previously indicated that the Old Lady are facing financial issues as part of the renewal. So it is fair to say that the talent’s future is far from secure.
