After the championship season, Arsenal wants to improve the quality of the team even more, but at the beginning of the summer search they heard a firm refusal. The London club asked Juventus about Kenan Yıldız, one of the most important players of the Turin team. The answer was short: the Turkish representative is not for sale.

Arsenal is looking for reinforcement on the left wing

Arsenal is having a season that will go down in the club’s history. The Gunners regained the English championship after 22 years, and they were not happy enough to win the Champions League. Mikel Arteta’s team reached the final, but after penalties they had to admit the superiority of Paris Saint-Germain.

However, such decisions did not mean that the squad was considered complete at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal wants to use the summer transfer window to increase competition within the team. One of the priorities remains the left side of the attack, where the staff is looking for a player who can give the team more quality, dynamics and unpredictability.

Kenan Yıldız on the English champion’s list

Kenan Yıldız appeared among the names considered. Arsenal checked the possibility of bringing in the 21-year-old from Juventus, but quickly realized that such a move would be extremely difficult. The Turin club announced that the offensive player is not on the transfer market.

For Juventus, Yıldız is more than just a talented player with potential. He wears number ten, which is particularly important in Turin, and he is already one of the team’s key figures. Therefore, the club does not intend to open talks, even if the interest comes from the newly crowned English champion.

Juventus does not want to lose its star

Juventus’ position is understandable, taking into account the previous season played by the Turkish representative. Yıldız scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in all competitions. These are numbers that show his influence on the offense and his increasing responsibility in the team.

Arsenal has not yet chosen one main transfer target for the left wing, so it is analyzing several options. However, the case of Yıldız shows that not every interesting player will be realistically available. Juventus wants to build a team with the Turk in an important role, and not start talks about his departure.

The World Championships may increase interest

Yıldız is currently preparing to play at the World Championships for Turkey. The tournament can further increase the player’s recognition and interest from the largest clubs. For Juventus, this is an additional reason to stick to a tough stance and secure the future of one of the most valuable players.

Arsenal will have to look further. The Londoners need reinforcement that will allow them to maintain the championship level in the Premier League and at the same time fight for victory in the Champions League again. Yıldız was an interesting option, but at the moment Juventus has clearly closed the door to a transfer.
