Manchester United are once again being linked with a massive transfer move, with reports suggesting the club are ready to push hard for one of Europe’s most exciting young attackers next year.
The name now catching serious attention at Old Trafford is Kenan Yildiz, the Juventus star who has been shining in Italy this season.
United are believed to be planning a very big offer, one that could shock the European market and show just how serious the club are about rebuilding under their new manager.
United is Watching Yildiz Very Closely
The Red Devils have been tracking the progress of Manchester United for months, and club scouts are said to be hugely impressed by what they have seen from the young forward in Serie A.
Yildiz has become a key player for Juventus despite his age, showing confidence, skill, and maturity well beyond his years.
At just 20 years old, Kenan Yildiz has already taken on big responsibilities at Juventus. He plays with freedom, takes risks in the final third, and is not afraid to step up in big moments.
That attitude is exactly what United feels has been missing in their attack at times.
The club believes Yildiz could become a long-term star in the Premier League and someone fans can build excitement around for years to come.
Why Amorim Wants a New Attack Leader
United boss Ruben Amorim is keen to refresh his attacking options as part of his long-term plan.
While United have already spent big money on forwards in recent windows, the manager wants more pace, creativity, and goals from wide areas and attacking midfield roles.
Yildiz fits that idea perfectly. He can play across the front line, drift inside, and link play with midfielders.
Amorim is understood to admire his intelligence on the ball and his ability to make things happen without needing constant space.
A deal of this size would also send a strong message to fans and rivals that United are ready to compete again at the top level, not just in England but across Europe.
A Fee That Could Rewrite United History
The numbers being discussed around this potential deal are eye-watering. If United do go ahead with a bid close to €100m, it would likely become the most expensive signing in the club’s history.
That would mean surpassing the famous return of Paul Pogba, who rejoined United from Juventus in 2016 for a then-record fee.
While fees in football have risen since then, spending that kind of money on a 20-year-old still carries huge pressure.
However, United believes modern football is about investing early in elite talent rather than waiting until players become unaffordable superstars.
Juventus Holds the Power
One major issue for United is that Juventus is under no pressure to sell.
Yildiz is tied down to a long contract and is seen as a key part of the club’s future in Turin. That gives the Italian giants a strong position in any talks.
Juventus also knows there will be interest from other top clubs if Yildiz continues his current form.
For United, this means any deal would need to be quick, clear, and financially strong to convince Juventus to even open negotiations.
Comparisons and Rising Expectations
Yildiz’s style of play has already led to big comparisons.
Some fans in Italy have even likened him to former Juventus and United legend Cristiano Ronaldo due to his confidence, movement, and eye for goal.
While such comparisons can be unfair to a young player, they show just how highly rated Yildiz has become.
United are aware that signing him would bring excitement but also massive expectations from day one.
United is also looking at Other Options
Yildiz is not the only attacking player on United’s radar.
The club continues to monitor several Premier League-based forwards, including Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo.
Competition for his signature is expected to be strong, especially in January.
United’s recent spending in attack shows Amorim wants depth and competition in every position.
Injuries, international duty, and fixture congestion have all exposed the need for more reliable options up front.
Midfield Plans Still Active
Alongside their attacking plans, United are still keen to strengthen in midfield.
Brighton star Carlos Baleba remains a top target after a failed move earlier in the year.
According to respected transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, United have not given up hope and still rate him highly.
Brighton are known to be a tough seller, but United believes adding energy and strength in midfield is just as important as improving the attack.
What Happens Next?
For now, this story is one to watch closely. United are clearly planning something big, and Yildiz’s name is rising quickly at Old Trafford.
Whether a deal happens next year will depend on Juventus’ stance, the player’s wishes, and how far United are willing to go financially.
One thing is clear, Manchester United is thinking big again, and the next transfer window could be one of the most exciting in years for the club and its supporters.
