With the January transfer window approaching, PSG is taking the time to evaluate potential reinforcements, and today, rumors are linking them to a Juventus forward.
Currently sitting at the top of Ligue 1, the French club has faced moments of uncertainty and inconsistency on the pitch, prompting a necessary reevaluation of their squad.
PSG reportedly wants to sign Juventus star linked with Man United
According to Canal Supporters, PSG is reportedly watching Kenan Yildiz, Juventus’ 19-year-old winger, as part of their ongoing strategy to build a youthful, dynamic squad.
Over the past year and a half, PSG has shifted its focus to nurturing young talent, assembling a promising roster under Luis Enrique that includes players like Warren Zaire-Emery, Joao Neves, and Bradley Barcola.
Kenan Yildiz has emerged as a standout talent in Serie A this season under Thiago Motta’s guidance.
The Turkish international has contributed 4 goals and 3 assists in 19 appearances, impressing with his versatility and creativity on the left wing.
Despite the growing interest, securing Yildiz won’t be easy. The young winger is under contract with Juventus until 2029, and his market value is estimated at €40 million, according to Transfermarkt.
The young Turkish talent has also been linked to top clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal.
What does this mean for PSG?
However, journalist Florian Plettenberg reports that Yildiz is likely to remain in Turin for at least another season.
Juventus is expected to prioritize his development, banking on his potential to become a key player in their squad.

For PSG, the interest in Yildiz aligns perfectly with their commitment to building a younger team.
While the competition is fierce, PSG’s track record of nurturing young talent could give them an edge. Even if Yildiz stays at Juventus for now, keeping tabs on his development could pay off in future transfer windows.
