English Premier League heavyweights Arsenal and Chelsea have reportedly reignited their pursuit of Juventus’ highly-rated forward Kenan Yıldız, closely monitoring his situation in Turin. Sources close to Juventus, as reported by JuveFC Sources, indicate that both London clubs have re-engaged in discussions to assess the feasibility of a summer transfer for the talented attacker.
Yıldız, a Turkish international, is held in extremely high regard by the Juventus hierarchy. The Italian club has consistently maintained a firm stance that the player is not for sale, viewing him as a cornerstone of their future plans.

Despite the renewed interest from England, Juventus remains resolute in their determination to retain his services and has reportedly slapped a staggering valuation of around €100 million on the young forward. While it is understood that offers in the region of €70 million might prompt some consideration, there is currently no indication that Juventus intends to sanction a sale.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea are well aware of Yıldız’s immense talent and the significant value he could bring to their respective squads. However, despite contact being established with those close to the player, there has been no suggestion that Yıldız himself is looking to force an exit from Juventus. He is reportedly committed to the Bianconeri and is not expected to push for a move during the current transfer window.
Juventus, in a bid to further solidify their position and ward off persistent European interest, is reportedly working on a substantial contract extension for Yıldız. This new deal could tie the player to the club until 2030 or even 2031, sending a clear message about their long-term commitment to him. Yıldız is not merely seen as an important figure in the team’s tactical and technical plans but also plays a crucial role in the club’s broader marketing strategy, viewed as a central figure around whom Juventus aims to build its future, both on and off the pitch.
Therefore, while interest from the Premier League’s elite clubs persists, Juventus’s stance remains unequivocal. Unless there is a dramatic and unforeseen change in circumstances, Kenan Yıldız is expected to continue his development in Turin, with the Italian giants confident that he will remain an integral part of their ambitious project for years to come.
