Chelsea Seen as Frontrunners After ‘Very Exciting’ Proposal for Kenan Yildiz

Juventus have moved to extend the 20-year-old on improved terms to head off a high-fee sale.

Overview

Reports from TEAMtalk, echoed by multiple outlets, say Chelsea submitted a "very exciting proposal" after discreet meetings with the Juventus forward’s representatives.
Juventus are said to have offered Yildiz a new contract worth about €5.5m per year through 2030 to keep him in Turin.
Any deal is expected to require a fee in the region of €90m after an earlier Chelsea bid of roughly €70m was rejected in the summer.
Arsenal are reported to be weighing a substantial offer, with Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool also monitoring the situation.
Yildiz, a Turkish international, has three goals and four assists in 12 appearances this season and is viewed by Chelsea as a potential long-term partner for Cole Palmer.
