Manchester United are already gearing up for a crucial summer as Ruben Amorim prepares to reshape the squad in his first full transfer window in charge.
The Portuguese coach has made it clear that the upcoming window will be about building a team with balance, quality, and purpose — not just stockpiling talent.
With outgoings expected across all areas of the pitch, including the confirmed exits of Jonny Evans and likely departures of Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof, there’s now an even greater need for targeted investment in youth and emerging talent.
United have already been linked with several promising prospects, as the club’s recruitment team has started looking beyond the Premier League to source the next generation of stars.
One name that has now emerged is Kenan Yildiz, the 18-year-old Turkish attacker making waves at Juventus.
Yildiz’s future at Juventus remains uncertain despite his desire to stay.
It was reported that his situation has caught the attention of Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea, who are all reportedly prepared to invest significantly to bring him to England.
According to Foot Mercato, Chelsea have now made contact with Juventus over a potential deal for Kenan Yildiz, who has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disjointed Juve side this season.

Yildiz has impressed since Igor Tudor’s arrival, with his creativity, directness, and ability to break the lines giving Juventus a much-needed spark in attack.
Having come through Bayern Munich’s youth ranks before joining Juve’s NextGen setup, Yildiz is now viewed as one of the most exciting young attacking midfielders in Europe.
Chelsea’s approach is part of a broader attempt to sign fewer but higher-quality players this summer, and Kenan Yildiz fits the bill as a long-term project with star potential.
Juventus are reportedly looking to tie him down with a new contract, potentially including a pay rise and a release clause to fend off interest — but the financial pressure on the Turin club could open the door to a sale.
For Manchester United, the news should be of particular interest.
Amorim has already shown an interest in investing in emerging European talent and could be tempted to rival Chelsea’s pursuit, especially with the Red Devils needing creativity in attacking areas.
If Yildiz does move to the Premier League, United can’t afford to let him land at a direct rival unchallenged.
The message is clear: the arms race for young talent is heating up, and United must stay alert.
