“Arteta wants” €100m Yildiz says Juventus Sporting Director

The 21-year-old signed a new deal until 2030 earlier this year and Juventus say even a €100m offer would not change their stance.

Juventus have shut down Arsenal’s interest in Kenan Yildiz, with the Italian club insisting they would not sell the forward even for €100m.

The 21-year-old signed a new deal until 2030 in February, when Arsenal’s interest had already been the subject of weeks of speculation.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the Gunners had been rebuffed in their latest approach, and Juventus have now made their position public.

Sporting director Damien Comolli said: “Kenan is untouchable. He is at the centre of our project. We know that Arsenal manager Arteta wants him. The English club have significant financial power. However, we would not sell our player even if they offered €100 million.”

Yildiz is currently valued at around €75m.

The left winger scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in 47 appearances for Juventus last season, and is regarded as one of the leading young attacking players in Europe.

He is currently in the United States with the Turkey national team, while Arsenal continue to assess attacking options ahead of the new season.
