Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz is attracting interest from Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal. 

The 20-year-old Turkish international has been in excellent form, scoring nine goals in competitive matches this season and providing the decisive assist in Juventus’ 1-0 win over Bologna.

Despite the growing interest, Juventus remains confident that Yildiz wants to stay. The Serie A giants are preparing a new round of talks over a contract extension, with discussions expected to progress before the January transfer window. 

Yildiz’s current contract status has been at a stalemate in recent months, but Juventus is willing to significantly elevate his wages, potentially up to €6 million per season.

Yildiz has been keen to stay at Juventus but is seeking improved terms, given his rise in profile. His current salary of around €1.5 million per year is viewed as below market value. Juventus is understood to be willing to meet his demands, and a renewal is likely to run until 2030.

Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal are among the clubs tracking Yildiz’s development. Spurs are in the market for new attacking options and regard Yildiz as one of the standout young talents in Europe. However, insiders stress that it would take a major breakdown in relations for Juventus to seriously consider a sale.

Yildiz’s impressive performances have made him a key attacking outlet for Juventus. He has scored nine goals in competitive matches this season and continues to grow in influence. 

The club’s intention is to secure his long-term future and avoid speculation heading into the second half of the season.

Juventus has recently appointed Luciano Spalletti as head coach and has been finalizing a new sporting director. The internal restructuring has delayed progress on a new agreement, but relations between Yildiz and the club remain positive.

With Yildiz’s contract set to expire in 2029, Juventus is eager to secure his future. The club is willing to meet his salary demands, and a renewal is expected to be finalized soon.
