Manchester United have put Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz at the top of their priority list for the summer transfer window as they look for a versatile attacking midfielder to bolster their squad, reports transfer expert Florian Plettenberg.
The 19-year-old winger is regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting young talents and is valued €80 to €90 millions after scoring six goals and setting up four assists in 41 matches in all competitions for Juventus so far this season.
Although Juventus see Yildiz as part of their long-term plans, and the Turkey international is said to be happy in Turin, the ‘Bianconeri’ could consider letting go of the talented player should an adaquate offer arrive from abroad.
As things stand, no advanced talks have been held between the two clubs, while Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have also started to gather and make initial contacts for Yildiz, whose deal with the Italian side runs until 2029.
21-year-old RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons has also been added to the Red Devils’ wishlist. But a deal would be just as hard for Ruben Amorim’s side to pull off, with reports also informing of a €80m price tag for the Dutchman.
