The Story in 60 Seconds

Real Madrid and Arsenal are monitoring Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz, with reports suggesting Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is considering a €100 million permanent transfer. Arsenal have tracked the 21-year-old Turkey international for nearly a year and are expected to target another attacker next summer, but they now face potential competition from both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Writer Cameron Smith argues that Yildiz would have an easier path to regular first-team minutes under Mikel Arteta at Arsenal than at Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. Although Yildiz recently signed a four-year contract extension and is currently recovering from a foot injury, failure to qualify for the Champions League could reportedly push Juventus toward a sale.
