CHELSEA READY FRESH BID FOR ARSENAL TRANSFER TARGET KENAN YıLDıZ
Chelsea are ready to make a new move for Juventus star Kenan Yıldız after a £61m summer bid was rejected. The Blues remain keen on the Turkish attacker as contract talks with Juve stall.
According to rumours in Italy, Chelsea has plans to make a follow-up deal for Kenan Yildiz after their summer offer for the Juventus attacker was turned down.
The 20-year-old Yildiz established himself as one of the most intriguing attacking talents in Italian football by finishing the previous season with an outstanding return of nine goals and eight assists across all competitions.
Yildiz has continued to build on his success this season, scoring two goals and dishing up four assists in his first eight appearances for Juventus.
Juventus' management has not concealed their efforts to sign Yildiz to a better contract to stave off interest from other countries, since the top players in Europe are starting to show interest in the Turkish international.
Scouts were reportedly there in the stands to observe Yildiz play during Juventus' goalless draw with AC Milan on Friday night. Arsenal has been strongly linked to the player for a while.
Yildiz's admirers also include Chelsea and Barcelona, who "stay in the background" as the young player's delicate contract negotiations with Juventus continue, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
According to the article, the Blues are "ready to attack again" after general manager Damien Comolli rejected Chelsea's aggressive July approach of €70 million (£61 million) for Yildiz.
According to reports, negotiations between Juventus and Yildiz's team for a prospective contract renewal are proceeding "slower than expected", and "the figures are far apart" at this point; yet, "optimism persists" in Turin.
Juventus is attempting to get their No. 10 to commit to Yildiz's future until 2030, with the possibility of an additional 12 months, as his current contract expires in 2029.
Engin, Yildiz's father and agent, is playing hardball and trying to test Juventus' resolve with high wage demands, despite the alleged "shared desire" to reach a deal.
Juventus views Yildiz as the "symbol of the new era," and the Serie A powerhouses are willing to pay the Turk enough to rank among the top five players in the locker room, behind only Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic.
According to a different report from Tuttosport in the summer, Juventus would not even entertain the idea of cashing in on Yildiz until they received an offer beyond €100 million (£84 million).
Yildiz, who was only recently promoted to Juventus' leadership group, made his debut wearing the captain's armband during last month's 1-1 draw with Verona.
Following Juventus' victory over Parma, head coach Igor Tudor praised Yildiz's demeanour on and off the pitch and urged the young player to develop into a "truly top player".
"I realised that I never say anything to Yildiz in front of others because he always accomplishes what he is supposed to do," he told DAZN while speaking with the squad recently.
We seldom ever speak to him about anything, even his behaviour or playing style.
The difference is the internal drive you need to get there and accomplish your goals, which must be present each day.
"Yildiz is demonstrating that, and I hope he keeps doing so every day." He possesses all the qualities necessary to excel as a footballer.
TIRED OR TOUGH? THE CONFLICTING ITALIAN MEDIA REPORTS ON SCOTT MCTOMINAY’S PERFORMANCE
Scott McTominay and Napoli suffer Champions League elimination after a 3-2 home defeat to Chelsea's clinical Joao Pedro.
Scott McTominay had a rough night as Napoli crashed out of the Champions League on Wednesday. The reigning Serie A champs missed out on a play-off spot after losing at home to Chelsea.
It was a wild night in the Champions League, and Napoli ended up as one of the biggest letdowns. Even with home advantage against Liam Rosenior's team, they only managed to finish 30th overall. Chelsea, on the other hand, walked away with sixth.
McTominay, along with Manchester United loanee Rasmus Hojlund, couldn’t stop Napoli from falling 3-2 in Naples. Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez opened the scoring, but Napoli hit back before halftime thanks to Antonio Vergara and Hojlund.
But after the break, Joao Pedro bagged a brace and sealed Napoli’s fate. The Italian press didn’t hold back in their reviews of McTominay’s performance.
Il Napolista gave McTominay a 6 out of 10. They liked his grit but pointed out he lost possession a few too many times in midfield. Still, they said he was a threat going forward—enough to give Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez something to worry about. But in the end, it just wasn’t enough for Conte’s side.
Il Messaggero also gave him a 6. They called his first half “average”, even though the game was played at a high level. After halftime, they thought he looked tired and didn’t live up to his usual standards.
Corriere dello Sport was a bit more generous with a 6.5. They praised his fighting spirit—classic Premier League style—and said he gave it everything he had. But as Serie A’s current MVP, expectations are high, and he just couldn’t find the goals Napoli needed.
Essere Partnopei matched that 6.5 rating. They praised his energy and said he was as active as ever, moving the ball well. Still, his efforts couldn’t keep Napoli from being knocked out.
Napoli Magazine skipped the ratings but said McTominay wasn’t at his best. He’s a key player for Conte and stayed committed, but it wasn’t enough to push Napoli into the next round.
"DON'T JUMP SHIP!" — ANTONIO CONTE’S EXPLOSIVE WARNING TO NAPOLI STARS AFTER JUVENTUS ROUT
Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund fail to fire as Juventus crush Napoli 3-0. Discover Conte’s defiant post-match reaction.
Napoli just fell nine points behind in the Serie A title chase after Scott McTominay and the rest of the squad took a heavy 3-0 loss against Juventus.
The defending champs barely put up a fight at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. Juventus looked sharp, closing the gap with Napoli to just a single point. Right now, Gli Azzurri sit fourth with 43 points, Juventus are right behind on 42, and Inter still lead the pack with 52. If Antonio Conte’s side wants to catch up, they’ve got a lot of work to do.
McTominay played the whole match for Napoli but couldn’t change the game. Frustration was obvious for the visitors. Rasmus Hojlund, on loan from Manchester United, struggled again and didn’t make much of a difference up front. While his parent club edged out Arsenal 3-2 in London, Hojlund missed two decent chances in Turin. He hasn’t scored for Napoli since late December.
Romelu Lukaku finally got back on the pitch after his injury, but with just 12 minutes left, the result was already settled. Juventus were two goals up—Jonathan David bagged the first, Kenan Yildiz added another, and Filip Kostic finished things off near the end with a third.
Napoli are still missing another Scot, Billy Gilmour, and creative midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is out hurt as well. Next up, Chelsea comes to Naples on Wednesday night. Napoli really needs a win to stay in the hunt for a Champions League play-off spot.
Conte faced up to the defeat but made it clear Napoli aren’t about to give up on the Scudetto—even with all these injuries.
Conte didn’t sugarcoat things:
“As long as it was 1-0, it felt close—like we might grab a draw,” he said. “But after their second goal, things opened up, and then they scored a third. Credit to them, but also to my guys. There’s not much to say or criticise. Even here in Turin, they gave everything.
“Sometimes you get past these obstacles, sometimes you don’t. For the first time in my career, I had to bring on a player [Giovane]. I’d never even seen him in training—a kid who just joined us Saturday. That tells you something about what we’re dealing with right now.
“But we’re not quitting. We know the situation, and we’ll keep pushing. It feels like we’re out at sea in a storm, but we’re not bailing. If someone wants to jump ship, fine—they can swim to shore. The rest of us are staying on board, ready to fight with everything we’ve got, whatever comes our way.”
