Chelsea Lead Race for Juventus Star Kenan Yildiz in €100M Transfer Battle

Chelsea FC are reportedly at the forefront of a heated transfer race to sign Juventus’ 19-year-old Turkish winger, Kenan Yildiz, for a staggering €100 million this summer, according to Transfer News Live. The Blues are pushing hard to secure the versatile attacker, who has also attracted interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester City. Yildiz, standing at 1.87m, has made 22 Serie A starts and eight in the Champions League this season, though his recent lack of game time under Juventus coach Thiago Motta has fueled speculation of a move.
Chelsea’s pursuit aligns with their aggressive spending strategy under owner Todd Boehly, who has overseen over €1 billion in transfers since 2022. However, fans and analysts, as seen in reactions on X, question the valuation, with Yildiz’s market value pegged at €45 million by Transfermarkt. Critics argue Chelsea’s focus on potential over proven talent could overcrowd their roster, risking limited playtime for young stars. Juventus, meanwhile, view Yildiz as a future icon akin to Alessandro Del Piero and are reluctant to let him go. The transfer saga promises to intensify as the summer window approaches.
