– Arsenal remain hopeful of signing Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz in the future, Tuttosport has revealed. The Tukey international has had fine start to this season, scoring five goals in 12 appearances, and, with some of Europe’s biggest clubs circling, the Serie A giants have moved quickly to try and extend his contract by another year. Yildiz, 20, is expected to put pen to paper on a new deal that will run until 2030, but Arsenal remain admirers from afar.
– Liverpool are one of several clubs with a long-standing interest in Barcelona center back Ronald Araújo, says Sport. Juventus are also pushing to land the Uruguay international, while Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur both inquired about his availability over the summer. However, the report claims that Araújo wishes to stay at Barcelona this season, as he is targeting a UEFA Champions League triumph under Hansi Flick. The 26-year-old is under contract at Barcelona until June 2031, having joined back in 2020.
