According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea has been working harder this summer to complete the deal for Kenan Yildiz, an offensive midfielder for Juventus. Although Juventus doesn’t want to let the gifted young Turkey international go, sources with direct knowledge of the matter told CaughtOffside that Chelsea is currently making every effort to sign Yildiz.
According to people familiar with the matter, Chelsea is in the lead for Yildiz, but Juventus is still committed to keeping their valuable asset. This information was provided to CaughtOffside. It is obvious that a possible move would not be inexpensive given the Serie A powerhouses’ asking price of almost €100 million/£85 million for the 19-year-old.
The Serie A powerhouses would ask up to €100 million for Yildiz, who is also being considered by other elite Premier League teams, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal. Clubs have been investigating Yildiz’s status in case Juventus fails to qualify for the Champions League, even though he has not indicated any inclination to leave the Turin team.
Kenan Yildiz’s transfer won’t come cheap but could be great prospect
Yildiz appears to be a perfect fit for Chelsea’s recent hiring policy, which has placed a high priority on hiring talented young players ever since the club’s ownership changed. Nevertheless, the ambition displayed in the transfer market has not yet been matched by the results on the field.
The current Chelsea ownership has placed a high priority on acquiring talented young players, but we haven’t seen any genuine success for the team as of yet, as CaughtOffside nicely put it.
A player of Yildiz’s caliber would be a strong declaration of purpose in addition to adding proven quality. His ingenuity, skill, and poise in the closing third may serve as the cornerstone of Chelsea’s upcoming success.
Chelsea isn’t the only team interested in Yildiz. In many respects, the player may find their offers more alluring at this point, as both Liverpool and Arsenal are actively contemplating deals. This race may be decided by Champions League football. Yildiz might want to join a team that is contending at the top level of Europe, and Chelsea’s inconsistent recent performance jeopardizes their chances of qualifying.
