Arsenal scouts to watch Juventus and Milan young players at Allianz Stadium

Arsenal will send scouts to Turin on Sunday to watch Juventus take on AC Milan, with a particular focus on young talents Kenan Yildiz and Davide Bartesaghi. The Bianconeri will host their Serie A rivals in one of the season’s most exciting fixtures at the Allianz Stadium.

The 20-year-old Turkiye international Kenan Yildiz has emerged as Juventus’ rising star, wearing the No.10 shirt and recently becoming vice-captain behind Manuel Locatelli and Gleison Bremer.

Since breaking onto the scene in 2023, he has attracted significant Premier League interest, and Arsenal are keen to assess his progress firsthand.

Kenan Yildiz of Juventus participates in the UEFA Champions League match between Villarreal CF and Juventus at La Ceramica Stadium in Villarreal.

However, Juventus appear determined to keep Yildiz in Turin. Club officials, including Damien Comolli, are negotiating a new contract that would extend his stay until 2030, with an option for an additional year.

The proposed deal includes a significant pay rise, reportedly €5 million per year with bonuses, which would make him one of the highest earners at the club and help resist Premier League temptations.

Arsenal will also observe AC Milan’s young left-back Davide Bartesaghi, who is expected to start due to the suspension of Pervis Estupinan.

The Gunners are aiming to identify future talents from both sides, though Juventus are working hard to secure their prized asset in Yildiz.
