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.
