Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has now come out and claimed that that attacking midfielder and Arsenal and Chelsea transfer target Kenan Yildiz has verbally agreed on a new and improved contract that will keep him at Juventus for the foreseeable future.
The 20-year-old has really made a name for himself and helped Juve win the Coppa Italia in 2024 and has picked up several individual awards over the past 24 months, including being named in the Serie A Team of the Season.
ARSENAL are one of a number of clubs that have been keeping a very close eye on the development of Yildiz, who is considered one of the best young players in world football, and a talent that is worth around the £80 million mark, as they are reportedly prepared to bring him to the Premier League.
But it seems that any chance to get the young lad signed up in the coming windows is closing as Romano posted: “Juventus reach verbal agreement with Kenan Yildiz and his camp over new long term deal.
‘New contract will be valid for the next four years as Yildiz has agreed to put pen to paper with salary increased. He’s gonna be among the best paid players in the squad.”
Despite the many reports linking Yildiz with a move to the Premier League, Eden Hazard, who enjoyed the best spell of his career at Chelsea before finishing up at Real Madrid, believes Yildiz could end up at the Bernabeu with La Liga giants Los Blancos.
‘My kids are crazy about Kenan Yildiz, they watch tons of videos of him playing and hope to see him in the Premier League,’ Hazard, 35, told Gazzetta dello Sport.
‘To me, though, he seems more like a Real Madrid-type player.’

Hazard was prof that a move to Real Madrid may not be the best thing for players careers, at Chelsea he was an absolute superstar that could destroy any defence, the moment he went to Madrid, he became a massive flop.
Yildiz does have the talent to play for one of the big clubs in world football, and maybe one day Madrid will come calling, but that does not mean that he needs to make the move there as he may struggle with the pressure of playing for the Spaniards.
ARSENAL will be one of the clubs that continue to keep an eye on the young man, and if there is a chance to get a transfer deal done in the future, we are sure they wll rival any of the clubs chasing.
