Return to Munich? Bayern eyeing up Kenan Yildiz | OneFootball

Kenan Yildiz left Bayern Munich's youth academy due to a lack of prospects. Now, he is impressing with consistently strong performances, and there are reports that Munich is considering bringing him back.

Kenan Yildiz continues to attract international attention with his strong performances for Juventus and the Turkish national team – and now it seems that Bayern Munich has set its sights on their former youth player.

According to transfer expert Ekrem Konur, several top clubs are interested in the 20-year-old attacking player. In addition to Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are also said to be interested in the Turkish international. According to Konur, there could be a real "transfer battle" in January.

Yildiz is under contract with Juventus until 2029. Therefore, signing him would be anything but cheap – recently, transfer fee demands of more than 90 million euros have been circulating.

The winger, born in Regensburg, was trained at Bayern Munich and played at the youth academy on Säbener Straße from the age of seven. However, in the summer of 2022, he decided to move to Turin, where he quickly developed into one of the biggest talents in Italy.

Is Kenan Yildiz now too expensive for Bayern Munich?

In recent months, there have repeatedly been rumors that the record champions are considering a transfer for Yildiz. However, nothing concrete has happened so far.

At the time, Yildiz’s move to Italy was also seen as a result of limited prospects at Bayern Munich. His former agent had suggested that the attacking player did not see enough opportunities for playing time in Munich. In Turin, on the other hand, he enjoys full confidence, became a regular starter, and a Turkish international.

The fact that Bayern and Dortmund are now once again considering Yildiz shows how highly the potential of the speedy winger is rated. Whether Bayern Munich will actually make a concrete offer in light of the transfer fee demands, however, depends heavily on their future transfer strategy and financial capabilities.
