Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona monitoring Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz | OneFootball

Kenan Yildiz hopes to continue his love affair with Juventus. However, as top clubs circle, the number 10 would like his new status to be backed financially as well.

As Gazzetta dello Sport explain, Yildiz isn’t dreaming of a huge salary like Vlahovic’s (€12 million). Instead, he’s aiming to get closer to Jonathan David (€6 million), who arrived in Turin as a free agent just a few months ago.

The Canadian striker isn’t a legacy from the past, like Vlahovic, but the first signing of the new Comolli-Chiellini era. Europe’s rich clubs keep showering Yildiz with advances, but the Regensburg native continues to prioritise Juve and is seemingly unfazed on the pitch by the locker room salary rankings.

He scored in both of his matches against Turkey and, upon his return to Italy, looks ready to boost a team wounded by five consecutive draws and Bremer’s injury.

Manager Igor Tudor is waiting for Kenan, and Damien Comolli is ready to get his star’s contract renewal underway. Locking down the number 10 could be the French general manager’s first move as future CEO, while also shaking off consistent admirers.

Enzo Maresca’s world champion Chelsea haven’t given up, despite their rejected €67 million offer this summer. Arsenal are also preparing for a move, while Barcelona, ​​meanwhile, are confident in the allure of the Blaugrana jersey once worn by Lionel Messi.
