What we know
Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Arsenal are tracking Juventus winger Kenan Yıldız, whose contract runs to June 2030. Ajansspor, National Turk and africasoccer.com all cite Corriere dello Sport for the interest.
The outlets describe active tracking rather than a concrete bid at this stage. On 4 October the three outlets published the same story, quoting a €100 million starting price from National Turk and a possible formal bid in 2027 from africasoccer.com. Yahoo Sports repeated the interest on 6 October and added Bayern Munich to the list of suitors. Africasoccer.com notes a formal offer may not arrive until 2027, according to its report.
National Turk says talks have not yet begun, per its article.
