It is believed that Juventus would consider offers in the region of €80 to €90 million for the highly rated winger.
The potential sale of Yildiz underscores the financial pressures facing Juventus, highlighting the delicate balance between maintaining squad strength and ensuring financial stability.
The coming transfer window is set to be a crucial period for the Italian club, as they navigate their financial challenges and attempt to retain their competitive edge.
