Juventus Sets Hefty Price for Yildiz as Premier League Clubs Express Interest
Juventus star Kenan Yildiz began the season as a key player for manager Thiago Motta, but the Italian club may consider selling him next summer if a substantial offer arrives – particularly from Premier League teams that have already shown interest.
Motta initially placed great faith in 19-year-old Yildiz, giving him regular playing time early in the season. However, recently the manager’s use of the Turkish international has become more inconsistent, with Yildiz either being substituted early or left out of some important matches.
Premier League Clubs Target Yildiz, but Juventus Demands High Fee
While Juventus still considers Yildiz a valuable asset, they may be open to selling him – especially if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League, which would result in significant financial losses. Reports suggest super agent Jorge Mendes recently visited Turin to meet with Juventus and Yildiz’s family, fueling speculation about a potential transfer.
Aston Villa has expressed interest in the young star, but they are not the only Premier League club monitoring Yildiz. However, Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is reportedly demanding at least €75-80 million for a transfer next summer.
The 19-year-old has scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists in 28 Serie A appearances this season, along with 1 goal and 1 assist in 10 Champions League matches.
