Arsenal Become Favourites to Sign €150M Forward

According to Transfer News Live, published on October 12, 2026, Arsenal could revisit their interest in an expensive Juventus forward in 2027, with reports suggesting that the Italian club could demand as much as €150 million for his signature.

Mikel Arteta’s side have made an encouraging start to the 2026–27 Premier League campaign, winning five of their opening six matches. However, Arsenal could still look to strengthen their attacking options when the next summer transfer window opens.

The player attracting their attention is Juventus attacker Kenan Yildiz, who has reportedly been on Arsenal’s radar since the previous transfer window. The Gunners explored the possibility of signing the Turkish international, but Juventus were unwilling to entertain the approaches they received.

According to the reports, Juventus could demand significantly more than €120 million before considering a sale, with the eventual fee potentially reaching €150 million. Such a price would represent a substantial investment for Arsenal as they consider their options for the coming seasons.

One development that could influence the situation concerns Bayern Munich. German journalist Christian Falk has reportedly indicated that the Bundesliga club are reluctant to pursue a deal because of the financial commitment required.

Yildiz previously spent time in Bayern’s academy before leaving in 2022. The German club are reportedly disappointed that he departed without a transfer fee, but the cost of bringing him back could prevent them from making a serious attempt.

That position could reduce the number of potential competitors Arsenal face if they decide to renew their interest. Nevertheless, it does not guarantee that the North London club will secure the forward.

Real Madrid have also been mentioned as a possible contender, meaning Arsenal could still face competition from other major European clubs. Juventus would also have to agree to a sale before any transfer could progress.

For Arsenal, the reported interest suggests that another significant attacking investment could be considered in 2027. However, no agreement has been confirmed, and the club’s next move will depend on its transfer priorities and the financial terms involved.

Supporters will therefore have to wait for further developments to see whether Arsenal turn their reported interest into a formal offer.
