Tuttosport newspaper reports that the gap between Juventus and Kenan Yildiz over a new deal is just €500,000 per season, but the Turkish starlet has attracted interest from some top clubs in Europe.

Juventus continue negotiations to extend Yildiz’s contract, and according to Tuttosport, the gap between the striker’s demand and the club’s offer is around €500,000 per season.

Yildiz’s current deal at the Allianz Stadium runs out in 2029, but with a salary of just €1.5m plus add-ons, both sides are eager to reach an agreement over a new deal.

Gazzetta claims that Juventus are confident of reaching an agreement with their No.10, but Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona are becoming increasingly interested in the 20-year-old.

Yildiz wants to stay at Juventus and has repeated many times over the last few months that he sees his future at Juventus.

At the same time, however, the interest in his services has become stronger in recent months.

Chelsea offered nearly €70m to sign him last summer, according to Gazzetta, and Tuttosport reported last week that Arsenal scouted the 20-year-old during Juventus-Milan on Sunday.
