Chelsea may not be able to sign top attacking target Kenan Yildiz in January owing to several factors that could go against their pursuit.

According to Football Insider, Chelsea’s pursuit of Kenan Yildiz may have to wait a bit longer, as they may not be able to sign the top attacking target in January. For starters, Juventus may not sanction a deal midway through the season, and secondly, the Blues have plenty of attacking talents to see out the current campaign.

Kenan Yildiz has made a significant mark at Juventus with his tremendous performances for the Italian giants. He is widely considered their most important player at the moment, and certainly n ot seen as a player the club would like to sell in the current climate.

The report starts with a claim that Chelsea saw a big bid for the Turkish international rejected by Juventus. The Blues were active in the market during the summer and signed a host of attacking talents up until deadline day.

They are certainly interested in a future move for Yildiz and have already run the rule over the 20-year-old Serie A attacking sensation in a recent game against Inter Milan. The Blues were certainly thinking about making a fresh approach in January, although any move in that month may be seen as difficult.

For starters, Juventus may not sanction a sale midway through the season, while they may see his loss as a bitter blow to their chances in the campaign. Secondly, Chelsea may have to ponder limiting their spending in light of UEFA’s squad cost regulations or risk severe sanctions. Moreover, they have enough attacking talents to see out the season.

Chelsea are planning on a future Kenan Yildiz approach

Chelsea are certainly ot giving up on the idea of signing Yildiz, with the 20-year-old Serie A attacking sensation a firm target for them in 2026. The summer window might be the ideal time for the London giants to make a fresh approach, at which point Juventus might be open to a sale for the right price.

A recent report stated, the Turkish international could cost as much as €100 million or more, although Chelsea might be prepared to pay that if they are serious. The Blues have shown in the past that they are not scared of investing heavily in talents they feel can add value to their team, as Yildiz could fall in that category.
