Juventus' Kenan Yıldız has attracted the attention of major European clubs as contract negotiations have stalled. Yıldız, 20, is one of Serie A's most talked-about talents and clubs including Real Madrid, Arsenal and Chelsea are all preparing for a move.
Juventus have begun talks over a long-term deal with Yıldız, but negotiations have run into difficulties. The player's representatives are demanding a salary of around €6 million per year, a sum that Juventus consider too high given their current financial strategy.
Although Yıldız has scored three goals and provided four assists this season, the Italian club have decided to put negotiations on hold for the time being due to budget constraints. However, with interest from other European clubs increasing, Juventus know they could face a difficult decision: meet the player's demands or risk losing an exceptional talent.
Arsenal and Chelsea are both interested in Yıldız, with manager Mikel Arteta highly valuing his versatility and goal-scoring ability. Chelsea, in the midst of an ambitious rebuild, see him as both an immediate contributor and a long-term project.
While Juventus want Yıldız to stay, he is seeking recognition for his contribution through a new contract, and big European clubs are seeing this as an opportunity. Yıldız's future will depend on Juventus' willingness to revise their offer and how far Arsenal and Chelsea are willing to go to secure him.
