Chelsea have been tracking Juventus youngster closely. They could push again after missing out in the summer.
Juventus star is being tracked by Chelsea
Chelsea have kept tabs on Juventus talent Kenan Yildiz for months, and their interest is no secret. A summer transfer was already in the works and a bid around £70m was submitted, as per Football Insider. But, the Italians were not considering selling.
The Turkish international is one of the most talented and bright young forward players in Europe. Juve see him a key part of their future. That is why any move in the winter window would not be easy.
Meanwhile, the West London side are convinced that he is worth going after. His playing abilities across the front line would make him a great fit for the Blues’ project. The club is eager to return to the top. So, a player with his talent could be the start of something special.
January push or summer wait
The real headache for Chelsea is timing. Juventus are in no mood to let a prized asset go midway through the season. Yildiz himself will want assurances about game time before considering the switch. The Blues already have plenty of competition up front. That said, adding another young forward only makes sense if there’s a clear development plan in place.
That means the club will need to convince him that Stamford Bridge is where he can become a star. January feels like a long shot, but the Blues aren’t ruling out a blockbuster bid to test Juve’s resolve. If that fails, summer will bring another opportunity to strike.
Either way, the London club sees Yildiz as one of the most exciting names for their rebuild. They’re not afraid to spend big to get him.
Author’s Opinion:
Yildiz is the kind of forward Chelsea should be targeting, but pulling it off in January looks unlikely. A summer move feels more likely, provided the club can promise him a central role in their rebuild.
