Chelsea Ready Fresh Push for Kenan Yildiz as Liverpool Make Contact
Juventus' wage stand-off over Kenan Yildiz is drawing renewed Premier League interest.
Overview
- Liverpool have made fresh inquiries about the 20-year-old Juventus forward, according to reporting cited by Yahoo Sports.
- TEAMtalk, via CaughtOffside, reports Chelsea are prepared to revisit a move at around £79 million after a rejected offer of about £62 million in the summer.
- Contract talks between Juventus and Yildiz have stalled as his wage demands exceed what the club can currently pay, with his deal running until 2029.
- Arsenal are also tracking the situation, and Tuttosport via Football Talk claims the Gunners are viewed as the most likely destination, though that is reported preference rather than a firm agreement.
- Yildiz is a full Turkey international who joined Juventus from Bayern Munich’s academy, plays primarily on the left or as a No. 10, and has built his reputation with recent goals and assists for the Bianconeri.
