Juventus deem Yildiz untouchable as Arsenal eye alternatives

Arsenal's search for attacking firepower hits a wall as Juventus refuse to entertain offers for their Turkish star.

What happened. Juventus have reportedly made Kenan Yildiz untouchable this summer despite Arsenal's interest, forcing the Gunners to consider other options like Julian Alvarez.

• Atletico Madrid set Alvarez's asking price above £100m.
• Real Madrid's £130m offer for Alvarez was rejected.
• Barcelona also cooled interest due to Atletico's stance.

Arsenal may revisit Alvarez if Atletico lower their price, but Yildiz appears off the table.
