TEAMtalk reported on Wednesday, citing sources, that Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea have been closely monitoring Yildiz’s development, and each club would be keen to make a move should the opportunity arise.
Moreover, that scenario could become a reality, as the young forward is reportedly set for a new contract following his rise in profile.
His current deal with Juventus is believed to be worth about €1.5 million annually (£1.3 million), or roughly £25,000 per week, which is below the market value for a player of his calibre. This has created uncertainty around his future in Turin.
The report adds that the apparent standoff between Yildiz and Juventus is partly due to ongoing structural changes at the club. With Luciano Spalletti recently appointed head coach and Marco Ottolini expected to become sporting director, contract talks are likely to resume once those roles are settled.
