Chelsea interested in €80m-rated Serie A star

Chelsea have reportedly made an enquiry about the availability of Juventus starlet Kenan Yildiz, who is currently valued between €80–90million (£68.5–77million).

According to Foot Mercato, via Get French Football News, the Blues have expressed interest in the 19-year-old Turkish international.

Juventus are said to be considering offering Yildiz a new contract, but their need to raise funds quickly could pave the way for a potential sale this summer.

Yildiz is widely regarded as one of Turkey’s brightest young talents in recent years.

His current contract with Juventus runs until 2029, highlighting the club’s intention to keep him long-term – though financial pressures may force their hand.

Chelsea have made a habit of targeting top young prospects in recent transfer windows, and Yildiz appears to be their latest target.

The attacking midfielder has made 76 appearances for Juventus, scoring 12 goals.

With the Bianconeri currently sitting fifth in Serie A, Yildiz will be hoping to help his side secure a return to the Champions League next season.

Chelsea Continue Reshaping Wide Options

Chelsea have added several wide players in recent transfer windows, including the arrivals of Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho last summer.

There is expected to be further movement in that area, with the club yet to decide whether to make Sancho’s loan deal permanent. Meanwhile, Noni Madueke has been linked with a potential departure.

Estevao Willian is set to join the squad after the Club World Cup, while Geovany Quenda will follow in 2026.

However, the future of Mykhailo Mudryk remains uncertain following a positive doping test, raising questions over whether he will feature for the club again.

The Blues have been linked with Nico Williams and are reportedly leading the race to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, as manager Maresca looks to assemble five wingers in his squad for next season.
