Arsenal and Chelsea are both reportedly in talks with Juventus over a potential summer deal for 20-year-old attacker Kenan Yildiz.
 

The two London rivals have previously been linked with a move for the Turkey international this summer, with Arsenal in particular showing strong interest.

Now, a concrete update has emerged regarding the youngster's future.

According to Italian outlet JuveFC, Arsenal and Chelsea are in discussions with Juventus over the signing of Yildiz.

However, the Serie A giants have made it clear that the player is not for sale — at least not during this transfer window — making any potential deal complicated for interested clubs.

Juventus rate Yildiz very highly and have reportedly set a staggering €100m asking price.

Offers in the region of €70m could be considered by the Bianconeri, but the expectation is that they have no intention of letting Yildiz leave, as he is seen as part of their long-term plans.

The player himself is understood to be happy at Juventus and is not expected to push for a move.

Meanwhile, the club are working on a new long-term contract for Yildiz, potentially running until 2030 or 2031.
