According to sources, Juventus had turned down the offer to keep the 20-year-old player for the long term. The club values Yildiz as a key player and is reluctant to meet his wage demands.

Talks between Juventus and Yildiz's representatives have slowed down in recent times. This has led to speculation that Chelsea may try to sign him, as his current contract is set to expire in 2029.

Despite the slow talks, both parties still have a desire to reach a deal. Juventus considers Yildiz one of the most promising young players in Europe, which could make him an attractive target for Chelsea.
