Following Vinicius Junior's decision to sign a contract extension with Real Madrid, Arsenal have shifted their focus to alternative targets to strengthen their attacking options. One of the primary names on the club's shortlist is Juventus midfielder Kenan Yildiz.
According to reports from Italy, the 21-year-old Turkish international has become a priority target for the Gunners. The London side has been impressed by the player's rapid development, having established himself as a key figure for the Turin outfit over the past few seasons.
However, securing the player's signature promises to be a difficult financial hurdle. Juventus have no intention of parting ways with their star cheaply. Reports indicate that the Italian club is unwilling to even open serious negotiations unless Arsenal tables an offer significantly higher than 100 million euros.
