Chelsea Intensifies Pursuit of Kenan Yildiz Amid Juventus Contract Stalemate
Chelsea is reportedly keeping a close watch on Kenan Yildiz’s unresolved contract situation at Juventus, as talks between the player’s camp and the club continue to stall. Although both parties are eager to secure a long-term deal, the negotiations have been slowed by financial demands, with the player’s representatives seeking a significant salary increase. This uncertainty has opened the door for major European teams to explore potential moves.
The 20-year-old Turkish international has emerged as one of Serie A’s most promising young attackers. After delivering nine goals and eight assists last season, he has carried that momentum into the current campaign with strong early performances. His creativity, versatility, and maturity on the field have drawn interest not only from Chelsea but also from Arsenal and Barcelona, with Arsenal reportedly sending scouts to monitor him closely.
Juventus, however, remains determined to keep Yildiz as a cornerstone of their future project. The club is prepared to offer him a contract through 2030 and elevate his salary to among the highest in the squad, just below key stars like Dusan Vlahovic. His growing influence within the team has even seen him entrusted with leadership responsibilities, including wearing the captain’s armband recently.
Despite this commitment, Juventus is aware of external pressure and has set a high valuation, reportedly exceeding €100 million, as a deterrent to potential bidders. Chelsea’s interest signals their intent to reinforce their attacking options with elite young talent, but any move will hinge on whether Juventus can finalize an agreement or risk losing one of their most valuable assets.
