No Juventus deal yet: Yildiz on radar of Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid

Juventus have paused contract talks with Kenan Yildiz while Chelsea, Real Madrid and Arsenal circle. For bettors, this increases the probability of a summer exit — expect odds to shorten on Yildiz leaving Turin and consider transfer markets (club-to-sign) or long-term markets rather than immediate match-scorer bets while his future remains uncertain.

Kenan Yildiz contract talks put on ice as big clubs lurk

Juventus have halted renewal talks with Kenan Yildiz after negotiations stalled over salary demands. The young forward’s current contract runs until 2029, but his camp and the club remain apart on terms, leaving his long-term future at the Allianz Stadium unclear.

Wage gap and demands

Yildiz earns roughly €1.7m a year under his current deal. Juventus is said to be prepared to raise his salary to about €6m per season, but the player’s representatives are seeking more — reportedly around another €1m a year — creating a negotiation gap that has prompted Juventus to pause formal talks.

Top clubs tracking the situation

Heavyweight clubs remain interested. Chelsea made a reported €67m approach last summer and are believed to be ready to return in the next transfer window. Arsenal and Real Madrid are also monitoring developments, meaning any prolonged impasse could spark a high-profile bidding battle.

Club dynamics: board confidence and ownership influence

New leadership at the club has expressed confidence that an agreement can be reached, and reports suggest the owner is a strong admirer of the No. 10 and could intervene if needed. That internal backing increases the chances of a resolution, but it does not eliminate the risk of a summer transfer should offers arrive.

On-field role and immediate outlook

Despite the off-field uncertainty, Yildiz remains a key figure in the team’s plans. The coach publicly confirmed his importance following a recent 0-0 draw with a league rival, underlining that he still plays a central role while contract talks are paused.

Transfer market and betting implications

The stalled talks combined with clear external interest make a summer move a credible scenario. Punters should expect shorter odds on markets such as "player to leave club" or specific-club transfer bets. Match-specific markets (e.g., next-match scorer) may be riskier while his situation remains unsettled, so consider longer-term or transfer-focused wagers until the contract story resolves.
