Arsenal willing to move for €60m-rated attacker; Man Utd, Liverpool keen as well
Arsenal have been linked with a move for the Juventus midfielder Kenan Yildiz.
According to Calcio In Pillole, the Gunners are looking to improve their attacking options with the 18-year-old’s signing and they are willing to pay around €40 million.
However, they will face competition from Manchester United and Liverpool as well.
Both English clubs have made recent enquiries for the highly-rated attacker, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to come forward with an official proposal at the end of the season.
The 18-year-old is capable of operating as a second striker as well as a winger. He will add creativity and goals in the final third. Arsenal could certainly use someone like him as an alternative alternative to Gabriel Jesus who has not been at his best this season.
Meanwhile, the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool need more depth in the attack as well. The Red Devils need someone who can share the goalscoring burden with Rasmus Hojlund. At Liverpool, he could be an alternative to the likes of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. The Reds need more depth in the wide areas.
Yildiz as a contract with the Italian club until the summer of 2027 and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to lower their asking price for the player.
With that said, the 18-year-old is a prodigious talent with a big future ahead of him and he could easily justify the investment in the coming seasons. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops during the summer transfer window.
All three clubs could be exciting destinations for the youngster, and they could help him fulfil his tremendous potential.
