Arsenal Opening Transfer Talks Over Chelsea, PSG-Linked Attacker | OneFootball

PSG have made it clear in recent transfer windows that their focus is on the long term, targeting young players with major upside. This past winter window, the standout addition was Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli, giving the club another dynamic piece to pair with its growing core.

Kvaratskhelia is now part of a rising group in Paris that also features Willian Pacho and Joao Neves. With the summer window on the horizon, PSG are expected to remain aggressive — and a return to Serie A could be on the cards.

La Gazzetta dello Sport previously reported that agent Jorge Mendes met with the parents of Turkish standout Kenan Yildiz, with interest in the Juventus forward quickly building. Manchester City, Chelsea, and PSG are all said to be weighing offers in the €80 million to €90 million range.

Fichajes reports that Arsenal have opened formal talks with Juventus over a potential move for Yildiz. The player’s representative has already been in touch with Gunners officials, with early discussions focused on whether the winger would be open to a Premier League switch, per the report.

This isn’t the first time Yildiz has drawn interest from England. Chelsea made an attempt to sign him a few months ago, but Juventus rejected the approach. Now Arsenal are turning their attention to the Turkish talent as part of their long-term plans to strengthen the attack.

Juventus, however, are making it clear that Yildiz won’t come cheap. The club value him at €80 to €100 million, and some Italian outlets suggest the price could rise to €100 to €120 million if negotiations progress further down the line.

Moreover, Juventus are reportedly moving ahead with plans to extend Yildiz’s deal, aiming to guard against future interest. His current contract runs through 2029, and the club sees him as a key piece of their long-term project.
