Arsenal pursues Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz amid ongoing transfer activity
Summary

Arsenal is preparing a bid for Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz as they shift focus from Vinicius Junior, whose new contract at Real Madrid dashed their hopes of a high-profile signing. While Juventus has declared Yildiz untouchable, reports suggest they may consider an offer exceeding £86 million. Meanwhile, Manchester United is eyeing Adam Wharton for their midfield but faces challenges due to his significant price tag of £86 million. In other news, Atletico Madrid is not entertaining offers for Julian Alvarez and is targeting Cristian Romero from Tottenham Hotspur, although negotiations are reportedly stalled. Additionally, Romelu Lukaku is in talks with Fenerbahce for a move from Napoli, and Crystal Palace and Everton are discussing a swap deal involving Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil.
