Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly among four top Premier League clubs showing an interest in Juventus' Kenan Yildiz.

Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly among four Premier League clubs interested in signing Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz.

The 19-year-old has been a regular feature in Thiago Motta's side this season, scoring six goals and providing four assists in 38 competitive appearances.

Motta has utilised the teenager on the right and left flank as well as in a more central role behind the main striker.

Yildiz's performances have supposedly caught the interest of several top Premier League clubs ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

Chelsea, Man United eyeing Yildiz move

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea and Man United are among four top Premier League sides showing an interest in the Juventus youngster.

The report claims that Chelsea failed with a €60m (£50m) bid to prise the Turkey international away from the Serie A giants last summer.

However, Juventus could be tempted to sanction a departure at the end of this season to help improve their financial position.

The possibility of selling Yildiz may grow even stronger if they fail to secure qualification for next season's Champions League.

Chelsea and Man United will likely face intense competition should they decide to step up their interest in the summer window, with Liverpool and Manchester City also said to be among the player's admirers.

How much will Juventus demand for Yildiz?

Juventus will hope that the significant interest in the attacker could drive up the price with a potential bidding war.

The Italian giants are in a strong position when it comes to negotiating a deal, with Yildiz under contract until the summer of 2029 after signing a new deal back in August.

With that in mind, Juventus will demand around €80m (£66m) to €90m (£75m) to part ways with Yildiz ahead of the 2025-26 season.

However, Yildiz is believed to be happy to stay in Turin, especially as he is playing for the same club as his idol Alessandro Del Piero.
