Chelsea, advised by manager Enzo Maresca, made an offer to sign Yildiz this summer. They proposed a transfer fee of €68 million.

However, Juventus executives declined the offer, citing their close relationship with the London club. They emphasized that Yildiz is not for sale, and the club values his talent highly.

Juventus powerbroker John Elkann believes Yildiz has the potential to lead the team's new era, under the guidance of General Manager Damien Comolli and director Giorgio Chiellini.
