According to reports, Manchester United are ready to go all-in for Juventus’ rising star Kenan Yildiz, with the Turkish attacker quickly becoming one of the most sought-after young players in Europe.
Sources close to the club reveal that the Red Devils are preparing a blockbuster €90 million bid for the 20-year-old — a move that could put them ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal, who have both been tracking the Juventus wonderkid for months.
“Manchester United are making Yildiz their big priority for summer 2026,” a source told Daily Briefing. “The feeling inside the club is that they’re ready to outbid Chelsea and Arsenal — possibly going as high as €90m.”
Juventus fight to keep their gem
Yildiz has grown into a central figure at Juventus, showcasing his blend of flair, vision, and composure beyond his years. The Bianconeri, fully aware of his soaring value, are reportedly working on a new long-term contract to ward off Premier League interest.
Despite the heavy speculation, the young Turkish international is not pushing for an exit. Insiders describe him as “fully focused” on Juve’s ambitions under Thiago Motta — a stance that could make negotiations extremely difficult for potential suitors.
The Premier League pull
Even so, the Premier League’s global pull remains a factor. Chelsea’s project of building a team filled with elite young talents would seem like a natural fit for Yildiz, especially given their track record of nurturing stars like Cole Palmer and Estevão Willian.
However, with competition already fierce at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United may offer a clearer path to a starring role. The Red Devils see Yildiz as a long-term successor to Bruno Fernandes, someone capable of driving the club’s creative core into the next generation.
Juventus will no doubt resist — but with United willing to go all the way, and Chelsea lurking in the background, the race for Yildiz could become one of the defining transfer sagas of 2026.
