Juventus are on a mission to shield their young star Kenan Yildiz from a potential transfer to Arsenal and other interested clubs.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian giants are determined to make Yildiz “untouchable” and send a clear message that he’s not for sale.

Yildiz’s meteoric rise has been remarkable. Last season, he was relatively unknown, but now he boasts the best-selling shirt in Serie A. Quickly becoming a fan favourite, many in Turin hope he’ll be a cornerstone of the Juventus team for years to come.

Yildiz’s impressive performances have turned the heads of some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and Liverpool. However, Juventus are adamant that the young star is not for sale.

To reinforce their commitment to Yildiz, Juventus reportedly plan to offer him a significant pay raise and an extended contract until 2029. They may even offer him the iconic number 10 shirt, previously worn by legend Alessandro Del Piero and currently held by the banned Paul Pogba. These moves are intended as a strong show of faith in Yildiz’s potential and a clear signal to potential suitors.

Juventus‘ actions leave little room for negotiation. The club is determined to build a future around Yildiz, making it highly unlikely that any offer, regardless of value, will change their stance.

Arsenal and other interested clubs will likely have to look elsewhere for rising talent.
