The 20-year-old Turkish player is becoming one of the most notable young talents in Serie A, with rapid professional growth and considered to have the potential to reach elite European level.

Yildiz joined Juventus in 2022 on a free transfer and was promoted to the first team just one year later. Since being given the opportunity, he has gradually proven to be an important part of the "Old Lady" Turin’s tactical system.

Last season, this winger contributed a total of 15 goal involvements, including goals and assists, showcasing his ability to create chances and directly influence Juventus’ attacking style.

Yildiz’s performance continued to be maintained and improved during the recent Club World Cup. In just four matches, he was involved in five goal-related actions, playing a key role in helping Juventus advance to the round of 16.

This current season, the young midfielder continues to make strong progress with three goals and four assists after 13 matches across all competitions, becoming one of the vital new energy sources on the black-and-white frontline.

Such promising displays have put Yildiz on the radar of several Premier League giants. Liverpool is reportedly particularly interested in this transfer to deepen the attacking options for coach Arne Slot. However, the "Reds" will face direct competition from Arsenal and Chelsea — two clubs who have been closely watching Yildiz since his emergence in Serie A.

On Juventus’ side, the Turin club is working hard to negotiate a long-term deal to keep the young talent. But if the parties cannot agree on salary and extension terms, Premier League representatives are ready to intervene. Transfermarkt values Yildiz’s transfer fee at about £66 million, which might be the minimum price Juventus would consider if forced to listen to offers next summer.

If he leaves Serie A, Yildiz’s destination will attract great interest: Chelsea could offer regular playing time within their youth rebuilding project; Liverpool has championship ambitions with a solid foundation for competing for trophies; Arsenal could give him the left forward role to partner with Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyokeres, forming an energetic and creative attacking trio.

Nonetheless, Juventus’ highest priority remains to retain their promising "raw gem." The battle over Kenan Yildiz’s future is expected to be one of the main focuses of the upcoming summer transfer window.
