Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz is garnering attention from Premier League clubs as the January transfer window approaches. Recently, Yildiz celebrated his milestone of 100 appearances for Juventus across all competitions, demonstrating tremendous growth at just 20 years old. This season alone, he has already made a significant impact with six goals and seven assists in 21 matches.
The Guardian reports that discussions between Juventus officials and Yildiz’s father and representatives are expected to occur in the coming days, as top Premier League teams increasingly show interest in his talents. Notably, Yildiz holds the distinction of being both the youngest foreign goalscorer in Juventus history and the youngest player to score in the Champions League for the club. His impressive skills have placed a valuation of around £85 million on his head, a figure that has not deterred suitors.
Yildiz recently played a crucial role in securing three points for Juventus with a dramatic stoppage-time goal against Pisa, further elevating his stock among interested clubs. Additionally, Juventus is eyeing a potential loan for Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa, which could facilitate Yildiz’s move to Merseyside given the Turkish international’s rising prominence.
On a different note, reports from The Daily Mail indicate that Juventus is also considering a free transfer for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi in the summer, indicating their strategic approach to building the squad without immediate expenditures.
This emerging interest in Yildiz represents the potential for a significant shift in his career as he continues to shine at Juventus. The buzz around his possible move to the Premier League demonstrates both the player’s growing reputation and the keen eye clubs have for fresh talent in the football world.
