Luciano Spalletti has publicly addressed the swirling speculation linking Kenan Yildiz with a blockbuster move to Arsenal, reportedly worth up to €100m. The Juventus head coach framed Yildiz as already a key part of the club's present and future, pushing back on the idea that the Turkish forward could be prised away. Yildiz, one of the most coveted young talents in Europe, has been central to Juventus's rebuild under Spalletti. Arsenal's reported interest underlines the 20-year-old's rising market value, while Spalletti's comments signal Juventus's intent to resist any approach.
