CaughtOffside reported that the future of Turkish international Kenan Yildiz with Juventus has become one of the most prominent topics before the winter transfer market, with renewal negotiations halted and growing interest from major clubs like Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

Yildiz is 20 years old and is considered one of the top attacking talents in the Italian league, having scored three goals and assisted four this season, which has drawn widespread attention across Europe.

According to sources, the player's representatives are demanding a salary of around 6 million euros annually, an amount Juventus considers high for its current budget and salary structure, leading to a temporary halt in talks.

Juventus insists that Yildiz is a key component of its long-term sports project and sees his abilities as potentially leading the team's attack over the next decade. Should an agreement not be reached, the club will not allow him to leave cheaply, with expectations of demanding more than 100 million euros for any sale, reflecting his high capabilities and the significant interest from major European clubs.

Arsenal is closely monitoring the player to boost its attacking capabilities on the wings, while Chelsea sees Yildiz as a long-term option and an immediate addition to the attack amidst uncertainty over the future of its current strikers.

Yildiz's future remains tied to Juventus's position on adjusting its offer and the readiness of major clubs to compete for the player, whether through renewing his contract, a record sale, or continuing negotiations for a longer period.
