Arsenal want to end this transfer window with a flourish, and as they prepare to sell Gabriel Martinelli, they are keen to sign a new left winger, with Kenan Yildiz the player who excites them the most.
Christos Tzolis has started superbly, but he cannot be the only left winger Arsenal have this season, and the Gunners are looking to add Yildiz to their squad this summer. They believe the Turkish attacker is one of the best players in his role on the continent and would be eager to ensure that he joins them soon.
Arsenal Step Up Interest in Yildiz
The men at the Emirates have made enquiries to discover what would be required to add Yildiz to their squad this summer. However, Juventus continue to insist that the attacker is not for sale.
The Italians consider Yildiz an important player in their team and would love to keep him, but Arsenal believe every player has a price and are willing to spend up to 100 million euros for the attacker.
The Gunners appear determined to explore every possible avenue to make the transfer happen, despite Juventus making their position clear. Arsenal see Yildiz as a player who could strengthen their options on the left, particularly with Martinelli set to leave.
Juventus Maintain Firm Stance
However, as the final days of the transfer window approach, Juventus have once again made their position clear. Sky Sports Italia says the latest message from Juve is the same: Yildiz is not for sale, and Arsenal should give up on any plans to add him to their squad this summer because it will not happen.
The response from Juventus represents a major obstacle for Arsenal, who would need the Italian club to change its stance before they could complete a deal for the Turkish attacker.
Arsenal are prepared to spend heavily on Yildiz, but Juventus remain unwilling to consider his departure. With the transfer window nearing its conclusion, the Gunners may therefore have to accept that their pursuit of the attacker will not succeed this summer.
Yildiz remains a priority for Arsenal, but Juventus have shown no indication that they are prepared to negotiate his sale, leaving the Gunners facing a difficult end to their pursuit.

Money talks.
Make a good bid and they may have their heads turned towards negotiation. Martinelli’s departure should add another £60m to the coffers.
Just make a darn bid
We’ve seen those “firm stances” collapse under the weight of superior financial proposals.
But if Juventus won’t shift grounds, Arsenal should go all out for Bradley Barcola.
PSG have brought in Ferran Torres (who I thought Arteta would go for, having worked with him at City), Aklouiche and Mika Godts. So they shouldn’t have any issues selling off Barcola at a reasonable price.
Yesternight when PSG played Rennes, Barcola was not named in the squad at all.
We can’t afford to go into the season with Cristos Tzolis as the only recognised left winger as Martinelli seeminglyis on his way out
PSG wants an arm and some legs plus money for Barcola. Too expensive. Not gonna happen
Well, then they should be prepared to keep and pay an underutised and unhappy player until his contract is up.
It’s interesting, Barcola is actually not “underutilised” at all by PSG despite what many think. He started more games, and played more minutes, in Ligue 1 than Kvaratskhelia last season!
They do have an embarrassment of riches though, with not just Kvara and Barcola for the left, but for example also Doue who can play there if needed, and now Godts as yet another option. Their policy tends toward to be to not run players into the ground, but rotate a lot, which is what we should really be aiming for also in an ideal world. For that alone, if Martinelli is sold, we would need another option who can play the left side without a significant drop off.
M A and A B won’t have put all their eggs in one basket.
If they can nail one of their target options at the ‘right price’ before the transfer window closes – they will.
Juve could be doing us a favour. With a little homework, there’s Tzolis waiting to be discovered somewhere and beckoning for MA to take him home
Maybe, the recruitment team scours the markets and occasionally turns a up a relatively unknown gem, that would typically go to a Brighton or Brentford, like Tzolis. There are some cheaper, very talented left wing specialists that could be perfectly good backup for Tzolis, like Antonio Nusa, but they’re all very hard to extract from their current clubs…
By the way, there is a rumour going around that we’re looking at Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille. This kid is even faster than Martinelli, and while he’s primarily been played as a center forward recently, he can play off both wings as well.
Juve, should be open to talk and if the player
Is willing to move whenever the worth anticipated met. They ought to be gentlemen enough to do business.
Now he’s injured and out for around 2 months. Not happening again this summer.
Was just about to post this. Yildiz is clearly a no go now.
Why is he a no go. The fact that he’s now injured, he’d fit right in at our club.
Haha. Yeah true, sadly. Could be worse, we could be Spurs.
Our luck really has turned around. Now they’re getting injured prior to being acquired instead of waiting until the first training session 🤣🤣
