Juventus set hefty Yildiz price tag amid Premier League interest | OneFootball

Juventus star Kenan Yildiz began the season as a key figure in Thiago Motta’s plans, but the Bianconeri could be open to his departure next summer if a lucrative offer arrives—especially from the Premier League clubs that have already expressed interest.

Juventus manager Thiago Motta showed great faith in Kenan Yildiz early on, giving the 19-year-old regular playing time in the opening months of his tenure at the Allianz Stadium.

However, in recent weeks, Motta’s handling of the Turkyie international has become more inconsistent, with the youngster either substituted early or left out of some of Juventus’ biggest matches.

According to Calciomercato.com, while Yildiz remains a highly valuable asset, the Bianconeri do not consider him untouchable—especially if they fail to secure Champions League qualification, which would result in a significant financial setback.

Super agent Jorge Mendes reportedly visited Turin a few weeks ago to meet with both Juventus and Yildiz’s family, sparking speculation about potential transfer talks—especially after Aston Villa expressed interest in the young star.

However, the Villans are not the only Premier League club monitoring Yildiz, though Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is said to be demanding at least €75-80 million for a sale next summer.

The 19-year-old has registered four goals and two assists in 28 Serie A appearances this season, adding one goal and one assist in 10 Champions League outings.
