Faced with the prospect of losing their star Bruno Fernandes to clubs from the Arab world, Man United have set their sights on Juventus youngster Kenan Yildiz as a potential replacement, but they are encountering competition from Chelsea.
Manchester United are genuinely concerned about the possibility of parting ways with their number one star Bruno Fernandes. Interest from the Saudi Pro League has never cooled down. Big clubs like Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, and Al-Ittihad are said to be circling the Portuguese midfielder yet again, despite previously failing in their attempts to sign him.
Yildiz is a rising star at Juventus.
This fear has prompted decision‑makers at United to act early. They are reportedly eyeing Kenan Yildiz of Juventus as a potential replacement. Although the versatile Turkish attacker is not a midfielder with a playing style that completely mirrors Bruno’s, this idea gains credibility based on a report from Calciomercato (Italy).
The source claims that Yildiz is United’s top target if Bruno departs, and Man United are closely monitoring the 20‑year‑old’s situation as contract negotiations with Juventus become complicated.
However, if United want to secure his signature, they will face a significant financial hurdle, as Juventus reportedly want as much as €90 million (around £78 million) for the player.
And making matters even more difficult for the Red Devils is the fierce competition from other Premier League clubs. Both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are said to be closely watching Yildiz’s every move, ready to jump into the race to bring the young star to London.
