Juventus market, Kenan Yildiz puts fear in the hearts of Juventus fans
Kenan Yildiz didn’t want to blurt out even with his compatriots about his future: “ The contract? I’m not talking about it. I’m only focused on what I have to do here. I am doing well at Juventus and that is what matters now. Here is my home”. Coming back from the victory with the Benfica, the Turkish talent also spoke about the European journey to the microphones of TRT Spor stressing the importance of the mental approach: “The Champions League is always special, but we have to prepare for it like all other matches, just like in Serie A. It is necessary to give 100 percent. We work very well in training, every time we take the field we have to do everything the right way because we want to go all the way”.
“At Juventus I feel very good, this is my team. With the coach I have a special relationship: he is a great person, he does so much for me and I always try to give everything for him and for the team” he then reiterated, emphasizing the good relationship with Spalletti. He closed on the comparison with Lamine Yamal: “He is a great player, one of the strongest in the world. I don’t like comparisons. I just think about doing my job, improving myself every day and giving my best for Juventus, the club, the team and the fans”.
Meanwhile, Juventus continues to work on the market to reinforce the attack and one of the main names remains that of Jean-Philippe Mateta. Even in the last hours there have been new contacts between the Juventus club and Crystal Palace, but the negotiation is still not close to closing. In fact, the English club continues to ask for 35 million euros and wants to include a formula with an automatic redemption obligation. This demand is still considered high by the Bianconeri, although compared to last summer there has already been a reduction, since then Palace asked for as much as 45 million.
Juve sees this lowering as a first positive sign, but remains convinced that the figure can go down further. An important factor is Mateta’s contract, which expires in 2027, and especially the player’s willingness not to renew.
For this reason, the Bianconeri executives think that time plays in their favor. As the weeks go by, Crystal Palace may be forced to revise their demands to avoid having to sell the player in the summer at a lower price or risk losing him at zero in the future.
