Chelsea has encountered a major roadblock in their pursuit of Juventus attacker Kenan Yildiz, as TeamTalk reports that the Italian team is drafting a lucrative new contract for the 20-year-old. Renewing talks with the Turkish international, who has emerged as one of Serie A's most promising possibilities, might keep him in Turin for some time. Yildiz's combination of style, poise, and finishing ability has drawn attention this season. His rise has been a highlight for Juventus, who are now focused on securing his future after he produced two goals and four assists in 11 appearances across all competitions.
Transfer insider Dean Jones told TeamTalk: “Chelsea keep being linked with Yildiz and it is true that they have an interest, but I find it hard to believe he will leave Juve. The expectation has always been that they would find a new agreement and talks are now started on those terms.”
