And according to Turkish outlet Aksam, Arsenal are preparing a £34million bid.

However, Juventus want around £51m for the forward – £17m more than what the Gunners are proposing.

Yildiz broke into the first team at the beginning of the season after moving from Bayern Munich last summer.

He has since made 15 Serie A appearances, scoring once.

The Arsenal and United target also earned his first senior call-up to the Turkish national team in October.

He opened his international account in a sensational 3-2 win over Germany.

Turkey’s Under-19s manager Soykan Baskar previously likened Yildiz to Cristiano Ronaldo.

He said: “Two years ago many big clubs were interested in him.

“Yildiz is more talented than Cristiano Ronaldo. His technique with the ball is superior to that of Portuguese.”

Massimiliano Allegri gushed over the teenager’s talent during a press conference in October.

He said: “In my opinion, he becomes a wonderful player, stopping the ball as he stops.”

Juventus allegedly blocked a transfer for Yildiz in January despite receiving interest from Arsenal.

The Turkey international has since become an important senior player.
