Chelsea are reportedly monitoring Juventus prospect Kenan Yildiz, with the club eager to explore a deal for the highly-rated Turkish attacker. The 20-year-old forward enjoyed a standout campaign with Juventus last season. He scored 12 goals and provided nine assists in 52 appearances across all competitions.
A versatile attacker, Yildiz is primarily deployed on the left wing but is also comfortable on the right or in a central playmaking role. Known for his sharp dribbling, vision, and long-range shooting, he brings both creativity and a direct goal threat. The Turkish star’s ability to deliver in the final third has quickly made him one of Serie A’s most exciting young talents.
Since arriving from Bayern Munich in 2022, Yildiz has rapidly established himself as a first-team regular in Turin. He has already featured in 86 matches for the Bianconeri, directly contributing to 29 goals, further underlining his value as both a creator and finisher. Notably, Chelsea also made a strong push for Kenan Yildiz during the summer transfer window, tabling an offer in the region of €65–68m.

However, Juventus wasted little time in rebuffing the approach, making it clear the Turkish forward was not for sale. The Bianconeri view the 20-year-old as central to their long-term project and are intent on building their future attack around him.
Yildiz is under contract with Juventus until 2029, which means that Chelsea would need to table a significant offer to tempt the Italian giants into selling. According to Fichajes, Chelsea will have to pay £86m (100m euros) to entice Juventus to part ways with the Turkish striker.

At just 20 years old, Yildiz has the potential to develop into a generational talent. For Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, the Turkish international could provide immediate depth to the squad while also serving as a long-term attacking solution. If the Blues can strike a deal with Juventus, Yildiz would represent not just a signing for the present, but an investment in the future of their forward line.
