Kenan Yildiz, renewal in sight: Juventus wants to armor him until 2031

Kenan Yildiz and Juventus will continue their journey together. At 20 years of age, the Turkish fantasist is already a certainty in the Bianconeri, with 86 first-team appearances topped by 16 goals and 13 assists, after having burned through the ranks between Under 19 and Next Gen. The club, which rejected numerous courtships in the summer, has decided to lock him up and has started negotiations for a long-term renewal: contract until 2031 with economic adjustment.

From the current 1.5 million euros per season, Yildiz will move to a base of 3.5 plus bonuses that, depending on performance, could push him up to 5 million: figures that would place him immediately behind Vlahovic and at the level of the leaders of the squad. For Juve a necessary investment, for the Turk a confirmation that he is at the center of the technical project.

In Igor Tudor’s chessboard, Yildiz is now a staple in the three-quarter, undisputed starter with the number 10 jersey on his shoulders and reference of a renewed attack that can also count on Openda, David and Vlahovic. Juve considers him present and future, the symbol of the new cycle and the natural heir to the great Bianconeri fantasists.
