Juventus’ Stance and Financial Hurdle
Arsenal’s approach with concrete interest. Any deal that takes place will be complex and costly. Yildiz is a central figure in Juventus’ long term plan. An underline status that comes with his iconic number 10 shirt at the club. His contract runs till the summer of 2029. This also means that the Italian giants are in no pressure to sell their Turkish hero.
Juventus value their star asset at over €100 million (approximately £85 million). This figure is not an exaggeration. Even, Chelsea approached them with a bid of around £70 million. However, Juventus rejected the offer during the summer transfer window. The final transfer fee expectation must match either the benchmark or exceed the figure. Moreover, this comes under a serious consideration of Juventus.

Author’s Opinion
The transfer talks are in the very advance stage. The transfer is very unlikely in the upcoming January transfer window. For Mikel Arteta, signing a talent of Yildiz’s calibre will represent a major statement of intent.
