Contact negotiations have stalled for one man as Chelsea continue to watch the Gianfranco Zola-type player.

Chelsea are often linked to players and nothing ever comes of it, but some stories always seem to have a bit more to them than others, and this one certainly does have that.

EXCLUSIVE! Real Madrid readying Enzo Fernandez offer and we can reveal the SIX replacements Chelsea are looking at!

Kenan Yildiz of Juventus is continuingly linked with Chelsea in recent months and it appears that their interest in the young rising star is legit.

There were even recent reports that Chelsea had an offer rejected for the winger in the summer transfer window.

The recent we call Yildiz a Gianfranco Zola-type player is because the Chelsea legend compared Yildiz to himself in some recent comments, which is possibly one of the biggest compliments any player can get. Zola is one of the best attackers to ever play the game and one of the best ever players to wear a Chelsea shirt.

There is no doubt that Yildiz has bags of talent and a big future ahead of him, and Chelsea are watching him.

Kenan Yildiz’s contract renewal at Juventus remains on hold, with the two parties yet to reach an agreement over financial terms, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report says Juventus are eager to extend the Turkish forward’s deal until 2030. However, discussions have stalled due to a difference between what the club is offering and what Yildiz’s father-agent expects.

Chelsea waiting in the wings

The report goes on to state that both Chelsea and Barcelona are closely following developments of this situation, having an interest in the player and seeing whether they can step in should negotiations break down fully.

Blues fans will be keeping a close eye on this one also now.
