Manchester United have reportedly reignited their pursuit of Juventus sensation Kenan Yıldız, with manager Michael Carrick viewing the Turkish international as the missing piece in his attacking puzzle.
The 20-year-old forward has become the cornerstone of the “New Juventus,” earning the adoration of the Bianconeri faithful. However, his rise to stardom has not gone unnoticed in the Premier League. According to GiveMeSport, Manchester United are prepared to launch a fresh bid to bring the versatile attacker to Old Trafford for the 2026/27 season.
The Carrick System
Under Michael Carrick’s tactical guidance, United have shifted toward a fluid offensive formation that would perfectly suit Yıldız’s ability to play across the frontline. Internal sources suggest that the club’s football department sees Yıldız not just as a prospect, but as a potential “superstar” who could lead the Red Devils back to European glory.
Juventus Demand “Galactico” Fee
Unsurprisingly, the Italian giants have no intention of letting their number 10 leave on the cheap. To ward off Manchester United and other European suitors, Juventus have slapped a staggering €100 million price tag on the youngster.
Beyond the astronomical valuation, Juve are also working behind the scenes to finalize a contract extension that would keep Yıldız in Turin for the long term. Negotiations are ongoing, and the Italian club hopes to announce the renewal soon to end any speculation.
A Summer of Italian Flavor?
With Manchester United already linked to Juventus teammate Manuel Locatelli, a double raid on Turin could be the story of the summer. However, with a €100m barrier for Yıldız alone, INEOS will have to decide if the Turkish playmaker is worth the record-breaking investment.
