Juventus halt Yildiz talks, top European clubs on alert | OneFootball

Juventus, which has just announced Damien Comolli as the new CEO, has been trying for several years to return to its former glory, the "Old Lady" that won nine consecutive championships and made a winning mentality its only creed. Over the years, things have changed due to mistakes made by managers and coaches. However, much depends on the sports side, where the club aims to secure the great talents on its roster: one of these is certainly Kenan Yildiz.

Juventus, talks for Yildiz's renewal interrupted: watch out for Europe's big clubs

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the entourage of the Turkish number ten and Comolli have decided to interrupt talks for the renewal after the last meeting where the right agreement was not found: there is no agreement, and the signature currently seems further away than ever with the economic understanding not reached. Let's remember that Yildiz signed a contract last season until 2029 with a salary of 1.7 million euros per season: what is being discussed is an economic adjustment given the rapid rise of the Turkish playmaker, with a million euros difference between the agents' request for Yildiz and the Juventus management. In fact, the Turk is asking for 6 million euros per year, with Comolli stopping at 6.

There might be an intervention by Elkann personally to try to find a solution to what is not yet a problem but could become one over time. There is strong interest in Yildiz from Europe's big clubs like Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Arsenal, with Juventus valuing its jewel at no less than 100 million euros.
