Juventus standout Kenan Yildiz has quickly become one of the most promising young talents in Serie A.
The 20-year-old Turkish forward showcased his skills during the FIFA Club World Cup last summer and has maintained that high level of performance into the current season.
In the 2025/26 season, Yildiz has recorded two goals and four assists in eight matches across all competitions for the Bianconeri, while he also continues to shine with the Turkish national team.
As expected, Yildiz’s rise has attracted attention from several prominent clubs throughout Europe.
Barcelona Keen on Yildiz
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Barcelona is one of the clubs interested in acquiring Yildiz in the future.
In addition to the Blaugrana, Premier League heavyweights Arsenal and Chelsea are also closely monitoring the talented forward.
This situation arises as Juventus works to renew Yildiz’s contract, which is currently set to expire in the summer of 2029.
Despite being one of Juventus’ standout players in recent months, Yildiz earns under €2 million, placing him behind 18 of his teammates in salary.
The Italian club is eager to rectify this by offering him a new deal, but should negotiations falter, clubs like Barcelona, Arsenal, and Chelsea may be ready to pounce.
Notably, Chelsea previously made a €70 million bid for Yildiz last summer, which Juventus rejected. The club still insists that Yildiz is not for sale.
However, with elite teams like Barcelona expressing interest, Yildiz might be open to considering a move away from Turin in the near future.
It’s worth recalling that the Blaugrana came close to signing him back in 2022, which could pave the way for another attempt.
