Juventus have no plans to sell Kenan Yildiz, despite reports of a bid from Chelsea according to Fabrizio Romano.
Chelsea have reinforced their attack this summer with the signings of Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, with more new faces expected to follow.
The Blues are currently working on deals for Dutch duo Jorrel Hato and Xavi Simons, with both players keen on making the switch to Stamford Bridge.
Juventus have no plans to sell Kenan Yildiz
Chelsea are said to want at least eight or nine attacking options to rotate between in their squad next season, as they return to the Champions League.
Noni Madueke has left, with Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix expected to leave, whilst there are still question marks over the future of Nicolas Jackson.
Chelsea have identified Simons as the player they want to bring in, and barring any major issues, the 22-year-old should become a Blue.

Any other attacking incomings are likely to be solely dependant on Jackson leaving the club, which as this stage seems unlikely.
However, Yildiz is a player Chelsea have been linked with, and the Juventus star can play both as a left winger and number ten.
The Blues reportedly submitted an offer for Yildiz, and Romano has now provided an update on the situation.
He took to X.com and said:
“Despite approaches from two Premier League clubs ready for big proposals, Juventus have no plans at all to sell Kenan Yildiz.

“He’s key part of the project and new deal is already under discussion.”
Yildiz scored seven goals and registered five assists in 35 Serie A appearances last , and scored three goals in four Club World Cup games.
Xavi Simons deal advancing
Whilst Yildiz is clearly a player Chelsea like, a move for the attacker is very unlikely, with a deal for Simons currently advancing.
Chelsea are said to be close to agreeing personal terms with Simons, with RB Leipzig said to want £60m for the Dutch international.
Simons has made it clear he wants to join Chelsea, but Bayern Munich have reportedly been trying to change his mind.
