Chelsea & Liverpool join Man Utd in race for €90m Juventus midfielder | OneFootball

Chelsea and Liverpool have both been credited with interest in Juventus midfielder Kenan Yildiz, who is a key target for Manchester United this summer.

With United looking to rebuild their struggling squad this summer, Yildiz has often been mentioned as a possible target. The 19-year-old has established himself as a key player for a Juventus side whose domestic struggles are likely to force them to sell at least one big name to raise money.

Full-back Andrea Cambiaso, a target for both Liverpool and Manchester City, has also been named as an option, but there is growing interest in Yildiz, whose is arguably the most valuable player in the Juventus squad. Reports suggest Juve want around €90m (£75m) to agree to a sale.

La Gazzetta dello Sport state that agent Jorge Mendes is looking at potential landing spots for Yildiz and, alongside United's interest, has now informed Juventus that both Chelsea and Liverpool are keen on the Turkiye international.

Importantly, Yildiz is in no rush to leave Juventus and the Serie A side are also reluctant to agree to a sale, but significant offers could force their hand this summer as they find themselves needing to raise funds.

Juventus are at risk of missing out on a spot in next season's Champions League, which would bring about a significant drop in income. Furthermore, a squad which has failed to meet expectations this season is likely to need investment.

Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Gatti and Samuel Mbangula are all possible candidates for to be moved on but none would generate the same sort of money as Yildiz, who has six goals and four assists across all competitions this season.

United are ready to spend big to bolster their forward line and have also been credited with an interest in RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons, who would command a similar transfer fee to Yildiz.
