Chelsea launch move for €80m-rated Juventus star Kenan Yildiz as Blues seek to take advantage of Bianconeri's financial woes

According to Foot Mercato, via Get French Football News, Turkish teenager Yildiz is the subject of interest from Chelsea. The report adds that Juventus are considering offering the 19-year-old a new contract but they do need to raise funds quickly and that could open the door for the Blues.

Yildiz is seen as one of Turkey's brightest young talents in recent years and is reportedly valued at €80-90m (£68.5-77m) by Juventus. Chelsea have tried to sign top young talents in recent times and it seems they have set their sights on the youngster for this summer.

Yildiz, whose contract runs until 2029 at the Serie A team, has made 76 appearances for Juve and has scored 12 times in that period.

Yildiz will hope to lead Juventus into next season's Champions League, with his side currently fifth in Serie A.
