"However, it now seems that those clubs will miss out on the talented young Turkey international as he's expected to finalise a new contract with Juventus soon. That's because it seems Juve are set to agree to a big pay rise for Yildiz, bumping up his salary from 1.5m to 6m a year, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. They report of a breakthrough in contract talks, as well as mentioning the interest Yildiz has had from Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich."
"Yildiz has been a star performer for the Turin outfit, contributing 13 goals and eight assists in all competitions for club and country this season, as per WhoScored. We've reported on the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea doing their best to sign Yildiz, but the 20-year-old is clearly important to his current employers, so it's not surprising that they've paid up to keep him at the club."
"Yildiz could surely have strengthened Liverpool, who need a long-term replacement for the ageing and out-of-form Mohamed Salah. Arsenal might also have done well to bring him in as an alternative to Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze, as they've not been particularly consistent this season. Chelsea, meanwhile, also tend to recruit the best young players in the world, and Yildiz certainly fits that description."
Juventus are expected to finalise a new contract for 20-year-old Kenan Yildiz, agreeing a pay rise from 1.5m to 6m a year. Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Chelsea showed transfer interest but appear set to miss out as Juventus move to retain the attacking midfielder. Yildiz contributed 13 goals and eight assists in all competitions for club and country this season. The 20-year-old's importance to Juventus prompted the significant wage increase. Keeping Yildiz strengthens Juventus's squad depth and continuity and denies Premier League and Bundesliga clubs a promising young creative option.
