Juventus Dismisses Man Utd and Chelsea Bids for Kenan Yildiz, Report Reveals

Last summer, both Manchester United and Chelsea had offers turned down for Juventus prodigy Kenan Yildiz, according to reports.

Given the winger’s youth, skill, and promise, major European clubs expressed keen interest over the summer. Both Man Utd and Chelsea had their bids rejected by Juventus, as reported by Corriere dello Sport.

Despite the clear intention to add a new winger during the summer, Man Utd did not enhance their attacking lineup. However, Chelsea made strides by acquiring Pedro Neto and bringing Jadon Sancho on loan from the Red Devils.

Ultimately, the Italian club secured Yildiz’s services with a new contract in August, committing him to the club until 2029. He was awarded the iconic No.10 shirt, which has been worn by legends like Alessandro Del Piero, Roberto Baggio, and Michel Platini.

This season, Yildiz has thrived under the guidance of new manager Thiago Motta, establishing himself as a standout forward, netting four goals and contributing three assists in Serie A and the Champions League.

suggests that Man Utd continues to monitor Yildiz, with new manager Ruben Amorim anticipated to enhance his attacking lineup in 2025.
