Overview
- Talks between new CEO Damien Comolli and Yildiz’s camp have broken down, with negotiations described as on hold by Italian media.
- Yildiz is under contract until 2029 and currently earns about €1.7 million plus bonuses, a figure seen as low for his status.
- Juventus have discussed lifting his pay toward roughly €6 million per year, yet a gap of around €1 million reportedly remains.
- Chelsea lodged a €67 million bid last July and, along with Arsenal and Real Madrid, is expected to return to the race next summer if no agreement is reached.
- Coach Luciano Spalletti says Yildiz retains a key role on the pitch despite the stalemate over his future.
