Bayern join Real and Arsenal in watching ex-academy star Yıldız, €100m

📰 An Italian report claims Bayern Munich are watching former academy player Kenan Yıldız of Juventus, alongside Real Madrid and Arsenal. 📌 Key points 🔎 Corriere dello Sport says Bayern have kept a steady eye on Yıldız. 💶 Juventus value him at a minimum of €100 million. ⚪ Real Madrid are reportedly the keenest, targeting summer 2027. 🏠 Yıldız spent 11 years in Bayern's academy before joining Juventus. 🤨 He has previously said he never felt trusted at Bayern. 📝 What happened 🔎 Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport reported that Real Madrid, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are monitoring Juventus's 21-year-old forward Kenan Yıldız, a story picked up by Korean media including Sports Kyunghyang. Juventus have held firm on a minimum valuation of €100 million since last year. ⚪ Real are said to be the most active, rekindling their interest with summer 2027 in mind and viewing him as competition for Vinícius Júnior on the left. Arsenal are also watching him as an answer to their left-wing depth. 🏠 The Bayern link is a natural one: Yıldız spent 11 years at the club's Campus academy before leaving for Juventus, where he has become a first-team regular. But he has said: "I was there for eleven years and never felt their trust," which casts doubt on any homecoming. He extended his Juventus contract until 2030 in February and is currently recovering from a foot injury. 📊 By the numbers • Juventus's minimum valuation: €100 million • Contract runs until 2030 • 11 years in Bayern's academy 🔭 Why it matters Bayern could face the prospect of buying back a talent they developed, at a huge price. But with a fee above €100 million, Real Madrid's strong interest and the player's own past comments, the chances look slim. Any move would come in summer 2027 at the earliest. Before then, Bayern visit Augsburg on 10 October and Viking in the Champions League on 13 October.
