Chelsea is reportedly preparing an ambitious move for Kenan Yildiz, the rising Turkish star currently shining at Juventus, according to Fichajes.
The London club views Yildiz as a cornerstone for its long-term project and a key addition to strengthen the attack ahead of the next transfer window.

Discreet discussions have already taken place between Chelsea representatives and the player’s entourage. Sources suggest the Blues are planning an offer close to €90 million, a figure that underlines their determination to secure one of Europe’s most promising young forwards.
For Chelsea, this would not be a short-term signing, but a strategic investment aimed at rebuilding their offensive power with youthful talent. Yildiz, only 20 years old, has impressed in Serie A with his technical skill, creativity, and ability to perform under pressure.
His performances in Turin have drawn admiration across Europe, and Chelsea’s scouts have identified him as a player who fits perfectly into Mauricio Pochettino’s modern attacking philosophy — versatile, dynamic, and capable of playing across the front line.
Juventus reluctant but faces a major dilemma
Juventus, however, is reluctant to let the player go. The Italian club considers Yildiz a vital part of its medium and long-term plans. His growing influence and connection with the fans make the decision even more complicated.
Nevertheless, an offer approaching €90 million would be difficult to ignore, especially if it allows Juventus to strengthen other areas of the squad. Chelsea, meanwhile, continues to emphasize its policy of blending young, emerging talents with experienced players.

Their pursuit of Yildiz aligns with this broader vision of creating a team built for both immediate results and sustainable success.
However, completing the deal will require three crucial steps: persuading Juventus to sell, convincing Yildiz to join the London project, and justifying the significant financial outlay.
