Manchester United have made Juventus star Kenan Yildiz a priority target for January

Manchester United continue to plan their long-term transfers with clear ambition. The club is keeping a close eye on emerging European stars. They now look ready to focus on a player who could shape their attack in the years ahead. After showing patience with young talents such as Diego Leon, who is growing steadily at Manchester United as the club takes a patient approach to his development, the Red Devils now seem eager to make a bold move again. They continue their search for fresh attacking quality, and this time, all signs point to a rising name in Italy.

Report from Marc Brus, the Daily Briefing, reveals that Manchester United plan a major move for Juventus midfielder Kenan Yildiz. Chelsea also follow the player closely. The 20-year-old Turkish international has attracted attention with his technical traits, quick decision-making, and composure in tight spaces.

Sources confirm that United plan to make him their top target for the summer of 2026. They could offer up to €90 million to sign him. Chelsea and Arsenal remain interested, but insiders believe the Old Trafford board intend to go higher to secure him. Meanwhile, Everton and Manchester United entered the fray for Manchester United star Joshua Zirkze, which showed their growing intent.

“Manchester United are making Yildiz their big priority for summer 2026. The current feeling is that they’re ready to go higher than Chelsea and Arsenal, maybe as high as €90m.”

Why Yildiz Could Be the Missing Link?

Kenan Yildiz offers more than potential. He brings qualities that can reshape United’s attack. The 20-year-old’s passing, vision, and movement let him control play between the lines. His creativity makes him dangerous against tight defences. The Turkish player plays as an attacking midfielder, a second striker, or on either wing. This will definitely provide variety and flexibility to Ruben Amorim.

United’s current attacking options, like Cunha, Mount, Mbeumo, Diallo, and Fernandes, bring structure and control. Yildiz adds directness and rhythm that others lack. With departures of Garnacho and Rashford, the need for a natural winger grows stronger. Yildiz’s sharp runs, quick link-ups, and confidence on the ball make him an ideal fit. If United sign him, the move could restore creativity and balance to their attack, but we are a little apprehensive about the valuation of the offer.
