Kenan Yildiz Set To Stay At Juventus Amid Chelsea Interest

The latest Kenan Yildiz transfer news has indicated that the Juventus star will not be joining Chelsea in January. 

Yildiz scored a stunner in the epic 4-4 draw against Dortmund on September 16. His strike – which replicated a goal scored by the legendary Alessandro Del Piero against the same opposition 30 years ago – further cemented his importance to the Old Lady.

He also provided an assist in the UCL thriller and very much remains a Bianconeri fans favorite. Yildiz is key to head coach Igor Tudor’s plans and the Croat will do everything to keep him at the Allianz Stadium.

Kenan Yildiz Transfer News

Despite Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz saying he wants to ‘stay at Juve for life,’ that hasn’t stopped some of European soccer’s heavyweights from circling.

In the summer, English Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea tried to lure Yildiz to London. However, the 20-year-old star stayed loyal to the Bianconeri.

The Old Lady’s ‘poster boy’ also drew attention from Barcelona and Real Madrid. It’s clear that Yildiz is set for the very top but Juventus will do all they can to keep him in Turin for as long as possible.

As it stands, the Blues looked like the favored destination but naturally, there will be plenty of attention for Yildiz’s signature in the future.

How Much Did Chelsea Bid For Kenan Yildiz?

With a new Kenan Yildiz contract being mooted, his suitors will have to pay mega bucks to snare him from Juventus. And it likely won’t be in the next few seasons, either.

His potential to sign a new deal in Turin has put a spanner in the works from Chelsea perspective. The Blues reportedly offered €70million in the summer and were toying with the idea of trying again in January.

However, that won’t be happening now – according to Football Insider. The outlet suggests Enzo Maresca is happy with his attacking options at Stamford Bridge.

Furthermore, navigating a deal for someone of Yildiz’s status is hugely complicated. Therefore, the 20-year-old Turkey international won’t be swapping Turin for London anytime soon.
