ottenham have joined Chelsea and Arsenal in the pursuit of Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz; however, optimism is growing within the Bianconeri that he will remain in Turin.
Spurs are searching for new options in attack and see Yildiz as one of the most outstanding young talents in Europe. The situation surrounding his current contract, which has been somewhat stalled in recent months, has sparked interest from England—although greater clarity over his future is expected by the end of the year.
Yildiz is enjoying an excellent personal season with Juventus and continues to grow in influence.
The 20-year-old has scored nine goals in official matches this season, while last weekend he provided the decisive assist for Juan Cabal in the 1–0 victory over Bologna.
His form has made him one of the key figures in the club’s attack, while also attracting attention from across Europe.
Despite increasing interest from the Premier League, Juventus remain confident that Yildiz wants to stay.
The Serie A giants are preparing a new round of talks over a contract renewal, with discussions expected to progress before the January transfer window opens.
The club’s aim is to secure the player’s long-term future and avoid speculation in the second half of the season.
Sources in Italy admit that progress toward a new deal has been delayed, but insist this is due to internal restructuring rather than any breakdown in relations.
Juventus have recently appointed Luciano Spalletti as head coach and have been in the process of finalizing the appointment of a new sporting director.
Yildiz has expressed a desire to stay but is seeking improved financial terms, as his current salary of around €1.5 million per year is now considered below market value given the rise in his profile.
Juventus are reportedly willing to significantly increase his wages—potentially up to €6 million per season—if talks progress positively. The renewal is expected to run until 2030.
Tottenham are aiming high as they consider major squad improvements over the next two transfer windows. Yildiz has caught their attention and is on a shortlist drawn up over the past three weeks.
Chelsea remain on standby after identifying Yildiz as a long-term target, while Arsenal and Liverpool are also among the clubs that have closely monitored his development.
However, sources close to the situation stress that it would take a major rift in relations for Juventus to seriously consider a sale, with the expectation that Yildiz will commit his future to the club if everything goes smoothly in the coming days and weeks.
