The emergence of Kenan Yildiz in European elite football has caused a real earthquake in the market. His growth at Juventus has made him one of the most sought-after talents in continental football, sparking an open battle between giants such as Arsenal and Real Madrid, while the Italian club struggles to retain their gem.

Arsenal accelerates and aims to take the lead for Kenan Yildiz

The Arsenal's offensive is no coincidence. According to Sport, the London club has been in contact with Kenan Yildiz's entourage for weeks to understand his salary expectations firsthand and assess the situation before a possible formal proposal. The player, feeling ready to take a competitive leap, has requested an annual salary close to 6 or 7 million euros, a figure he considers fair for his performance and in line with other established young talents in European football.

Negotiations for a renewal at Juventus are progressing slowly. The club is willing to keep him, but the initial offer falls short of the player's demands, leading to a stalemate that the Arsenal is cleverly capitalizing on. In London, Yildiz is seen as a strategic piece: young, adaptable to various attacking roles, and with potential that could flourish under Mikel Arteta's philosophy.

This immediate ambition of the English club contrasts with the more cautious stance of other contenders, positioning the "Gunners" project as a very serious option to convince the Turkish player to leave Italy.

Real Madrid watches closely but thinks long term

While Real Madrid is also closely monitoring Kenan Yildiz's development, their approach differs from the London club. In Valdebebas, they highly value his talent but do not prioritize signing him in this transfer window. The Turkish forward is seen as a future project capable of integrating into the progressive renewal of the White's attack, with no immediate pressure to secure his signing.

This more distant position does not denote lack of interest. On the contrary, Real Madrid has been monitoring his performance for months and acknowledges the strategic opportunity he presents if negotiations with Juventus become strained. However, at present, their role is more that of an observer than a protagonist, giving Arsenal a clear advantage in the race.

A talent in full bloom that worries Juventus

Kenan Yildiz's season at Juventus has been a turning point. At just 20 years old, he has established himself as an important piece in the attack, contributing with flair, intelligence in the final third, and a maturity uncommon for his age. His versatility - capable of playing as a winger, attacking midfielder, or second striker - has boosted his value and attracted clubs seeking both present impact and future potential in one player.

In Italy, they are aware of the risks: if they do not close his renewal soon, they could be forced into a sale before losing negotiation power. The sporting and financial pressure is evident, and the emergence of clubs like Arsenal threatens their plan to retain him.

Who is really closer to signing him?

Currently, the landscape is clear: Arsenal has positioned themselves as the best-placed club to secure Kenan Yildiz, thanks to their determination and short-term interest aligning with the player's aspirations. On the other hand, Real Madrid remains observant, ready to step in if the operation prolongs and a more favorable opportunity arises.

What is undeniable is that Kenan Yildiz has become one of the most sought-after names in Europe, and his future, whether in London, Madrid, or Turin, will mark one of the standout moves in the market.
