A transfer story that had run for months has reached its final chapter. According to another piece of information David Ornstein shared while confirming the Christos Tzolis transfer, Arsenal made a formal enquiry to Juventus over Kenan Yildiz and were told the player is not for sale; the rejection led the club to look at other options, including Tzolis.
This development was the natural conclusion of a story that had been in the headlines for some time. According to an earlier report from The Athletic, Arsenal moved quickly following Turkey's World Cup elimination to open a formal enquiry over Yildiz, but were firmly turned away with the response that he was not for sale.
Juventus' stance had been exceptionally clear from the outset. Fabrizio Romano stated on June 9: "No chances for Kenan Yildiz exit this summer. Never been a topic as Juventus closed doors already months ago. New deal signed in February, key player and staying even without UCL."
The player's value and importance underpin Juventus' resolve. Under contract at Juventus until 2030, the 21-year-old contributed 11 goals and 10 assists in 47 matches last season; Juventus are reported to be unwilling to even open talks for a fee below €100 million. Arsenal's search for a left winger under Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta was subsequently shaped by this rejection, culminating in the Christos Tzolis transfer.
