Overview
- Talks led by new CEO Damien Comolli have stalled after months of negotiations, with the proposed 2030 renewal currently on hold.
- Yildiz earns about €1.7m per year and is seeking roughly €6m, while reports say Juventus’ offer is about €1m short of his demand.
- The forward remains under contract until 2029, giving Juventus leverage as reports suggest owner John Elkann could step in to restart discussions.
- Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid are monitoring the impasse, with Chelsea’s €67m bid from July rejected and projections pointing to a €90–100m fee if a bidding war develops next summer.
- Despite the uncertainty, Yildiz has delivered seven goal contributions in 14 appearances this season, with Luciano Spalletti acknowledging possible fatigue but keeping him central to his plans.
