Reports Chelsea in contact with Juventus for Yildiz

According to reports from Footmercato.net, there has not yet been an official offer presented by Enzo Maresca’s side, but the Londoners have been in contact with representatives from Juventus to discuss the possibility of a transfer.

Yildiz signed a new and improved contract with Juventus at the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign, penning an extension until the summer of 2029, while also being handed the club’s iconic no.10 shirt.

The 19-year-old is the most valuable and the highest-rated of Juve’s current crop of youngsters, but there are uncertainties over the club’s management for next season.

Igor Tudor is currently serving as interim head coach until the end of the 2024-25 campaign. Tudor has used Yildiz as a starter in every game since he took over from Thiago Motta, but there is no confirmation either way whether the Croatian will still be in charge after the Club World Cup this summer.

Additionally, Juventus will look to revamp their attacking department during the next summer transfer window, which could mean that current first-team stars are sacrificed in order to make way and raise funds for new additions.
