Chelsea have failed with a move for Juventus midfielder Kenan Yildiz.
Sportmediaset says Chelsea approached Juve about opening talks over a fee for the Turkey international.

However, Juve immediately rejected the enquiry.
And instead, the Bianconeri are willing to open talks with Yildiz about a new contract.
Juve are offering the midfielder a deal to 2029 worth €1.2m-a-year - quadruple his current wages. Yildiz, however, is demanding better terms after his successful Euros with Turkey.
