Juventus chief Damien Comolli is not planning on allowing any of Kenan Yildiz’s Premier League suitors to grab the Turkish starlet, TBR Football understands.

Yildiz has emerged as Juventus’ most prized asset and is seen as a key to everything they want to do and achieve going forward.

Former Tottenham and Liverpool footballing chief Comolli is well aware of the interest emerging in the 20-year-old, who has started the season in fine style.

The Turkish international is already committed to Juve until 2029, but TBR Football can confirm that they are already in talks over a new deal to make him one of the highest-paid players at the club.

Sources: Arsenal and Chelsea are confirmed admirers of Kenan Yildiz

Chelsea and Arsenal are both confirmed admirers of Yildiz, who can play anywhere behind the forward line and has spent most of his time playing as a number ten, sources have told TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey.

Manchester City and Liverpool also have a historic interest and are keeping tabs on the situation too, whilst we can confirm that Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, where German-born Yildiz spent time before moving to Turun, are also very much watching.

However, sources with knowledge of the situation have told TBR Football that Juve are confident that Yildiz will remain and sign a new long-term deal.

Bailey has now revealed the latest on Yildiz’s situation: “Damien Comolli only arrived in the summer, but he made a big impact.

“He completed the captures of Jonathan David and Lois Openda, but he is very much looking at keeping hold of their top talents, and there is nobody more important than Yildiz.

“Yildiz looks like a superstar and Juve know that most of Europe’s top clubs would take him at the drop of a hat, but he is now working on a new deal and the hope is he signs and then that shows that he is not on the market anytime soon.”

Gianfranco Zola thinks Kenan Yildiz has ‘similar qualities’ to him

Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola believes that Yildiz has ‘similar qualities’ to him and that he could be the next Zola.

The former Blues star was full of praise for the Juve youngster and perhaps he would love to see him arrive at Stamford Bridge.

When asked about the next Zola, the Italian legend told Tuttomercatoweb: “There are players who have my characteristics, but today’s football is very different from the one I played in. For example, Yildiz of Juventus is a player with similar qualities to mine.”

However, the West London club are already well stocked with left-wingers, with the likes of Pedro Neto, Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho.
