Arteta dreams of Yildiz transfer: Arsenal is ready to pay 100 million euros

Arsenal are actively looking for reinforcements for the left flank of the attack ahead of the new season. As reported by The Athletic and journalist Sasha Tavolieri, Gunners head coach Mikel Arteta considers Juventus winger Kenan Yıldız to be his priority transfer wish. According to sources, the London club was already in contact with Juventus regarding the possible transfer of the 21-year-old football player. However, Turin made it clear that they do not plan to sell one of their most promising players, whose contract runs until the summer of 2030. Despite this, Arsenal is not giving up on the idea of ​​signing the Turkish international. It is reported that the club is ready to invest around 100 million euros to convince Juventus to reconsider their position. However, due to the World Cup, the active phase of negotiations has not yet begun. It's no secret that Arsenal are looking to strengthen their left-wing attack due to the instability of Gabriel Martinelli and the age of Leandro Trossardo, who will turn 32 in December. That is why Yıldız is seen as one of the key elements of Arteta's upcoming team rebuild. As an alternative option, the Gunners are also in the field of vision, but it is the Turkish talent that remains the favorite of the coaching staff. The North London club are also evaluating the possibility of a transfer.Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta traditionally studies several options at the same time, including Como's Nico Paz, before making a final decision. In the 2025/26 season, Kenan Yildiz played 47 matches for Juventus in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and 9 assists.
