Chelsea Had €68M Offer Rejected for Arsenal, PSG-Linked Standout | OneFootball

PSG have made it clear over the past few transfer windows that their focus is on long-term development, targeting young players with high upside rather than short-term fixes. This year, the club’s marquee addition was Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli, a dynamic attacker brought in to strengthen an already talented young core.

Kvaratskhelia joins a rising group in Paris that features Willian Pacho and Joao Neves, and the club could once again look to Serie A for future reinforcements.

As previously reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, agent Jorge Mendes held talks with the family of Turkish forward Kenan Yildiz, whose stock continues to rise at Juventus. Manchester City, Chelsea, and PSG were said to be exploring potential offers in the €80 million to €90 million range.

According to TuttoJuve, Juventus turned down a €68 million offer from Chelsea for Yildiz during the summer window. Still, the Blues remain interested in the Turkish talent and are expected to make another attempt to land him soon.

Tuttosport previously reported that Arsenal sent scouts to watch Yildiz during Juventus’ Serie A match against AC Milan on Sunday. So far this season, the 19-year-old has scored twice and recorded four assists across Serie A and the Champions League.

However, Fichajes notes that Juventus have no intention of letting Yildiz leave for a modest fee. The Italian club value him between €80 and €100 million, and some local outlets believe that number could rise to €100–120 million if discussions move forward.

Furthermore, Juventus are moving ahead with plans to extend Yildiz’s contract to protect their investment. His current deal runs through 2029, and the club consider him a vital part of their long-term vision.
