After entering the new season, Juventus's state has been ups and downs. After the previous 11 rounds of Serie A, they only achieved a record of 6 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses and 18 points, and were squeezed out of the top 4 of Serie A.

However, although the team's record is not ideal, it has not overshadowed the brilliance of many talented forward players Kenan Yildiz. Data shows that the 20-year-old Turkish winger has played 14 times in all competitions and has contributed 3 goals and 4 assists to Juventus.

Yildiz's emergence in Serie A is no accident. His comprehensiveness is among the best among players of his age. As a left-footed winger, he is best at cutting in from the left to launch attacks. He has a fast pace and flexible changes of direction. This season, his average dribble success rate in Serie A is over 50%. Last season, he tied for second in Serie A with 58 successful dribbles. Although he is 185cm tall, he has delicate ball control ability in a small area. When faced with a press, he can protect the ball and get rid of it through continuous fancy movements. His flexibility is comparable to that of a small and fast winger.

At the end, the 20-year-old Yildiz showed a calmness far beyond his age. He played 52 games last season and contributed 12 goals and 7 assists. In terms of tandem offense, he has sent 6 key passes in a single game. This season, he averaged 3.69 key passes per game, ranking among the top left wingers in Serie A. Due to Yildiz's outstanding talent and outstanding statistical performance, he has naturally become a hot commodity in the European transfer market. As of now, TEAMtalk can confirm that the three major Premier League clubs including Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have already offered him an olive branch.

It is reported that Liverpool has already started contact and plans to clear out high-paid players next summer to make room for him; Arsenal has offered Gasus an offer of 50 million euros, and Chelsea is even willing to offer an annual salary of more than 10 million pounds. Facing the encirclement and suppression, Juventus is trying its best to build a strong defense line. The club plans to provide Yildiz with a contract extension until 2030, significantly increasing his annual salary from the current 1.5 million euros to the team's maximum salary level of 6 million euros. However, the advancement of negotiations is subject to changes in the team's management - new coach Luciano Spalletti has just taken office, and the candidate for sports director has not yet been finalized, which has temporarily stalled the contract renewal dialogue.

Yildiz's personal wish is to continue to play for Juventus, but since there is no progress in renewing the contract, it is not ruled out that he will gradually develop an interest in leaving and switch to other wealthy teams. This will undoubtedly give the three major Premier League giants such as Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea the opportunity to grab people. In the end, will the 20-year-old Turkish talented winger stay at Juventus or switch to a Premier League giant? We'll see.
