Manchester City have initiated contact with Juventus regarding the potential transfer of 19-year-old winger Kenan Yildiz, signaling their intent to bolster their attacking options ahead of the summer transfer window.
Man City Open Talks for Kenan Yildiz – Juventus Ready to Sell for £75m
Juventus, facing financial challenges and the possibility of missing out on Champions League qualification, are reportedly open to selling Yildiz, with an estimated valuation between €80 million and €90 million (£67 million to £75 million).
Yildiz, who joined Juventus in 2022, has emerged as a promising talent in Serie A. This season, he has made 28 league appearances, starting 22 matches, and has contributed four goals and two assists.
His versatility and technical prowess have caught the attention of several top European clubs.
Manchester City are not alone in their pursuit of Yildiz. Premier League rivals Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United have also expressed interest in the Turkish international.
Chelsea had a €60 million bid rejected last summer, highlighting Juventus’s high valuation of the player.
Liverpool are reportedly preparing an €80 million offer, viewing Yildiz as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah, should the Egyptian forward depart.
For Manchester City, securing Yildiz would align with their strategy of investing in young, versatile talents capable of contributing across multiple attacking roles.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the competition for Yildiz’s signature is expected to intensify, with Juventus poised to evaluate offers that meet their financial expectations
