Juventus to Ramp Up Efforts to Renew Yildiz Contract | OneFootball

With the summer window now in the books, Juventus will dive into the renewals and are ready to reward Kenan Yildiz again for his growth. The prodigy re-upped his contract about a year ago, but his pay bump wasn’t that significant.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the camp of the Turkish attacker, which includes his father, is in Turin to negotiate a new deal. They are on the same page with the club, which has long decided to bet and keep the starlet for the foreseeable future.

Yildiz is poised for an extension until 2030 and a massive raise, considering that he’s one of the Juventus players with the lowest salary, €1.5M annually. It could balloon up to €4/5M, on par with another leader like Gleison Bremer. At that point, only Dusan Vlahovic and Jonathan David would be ahead of him in the chart.

The Bianconeri have cashed in on many youth products but never seriously entertained the sale of their most precious one, even before he had fully bloomed. They turned down a €70M offer from Chelsea in late July, considering it too low. In the management’s mind, his valuation exceeds the nine-digit threshold, especially after seeing the figures shelled out by Liverpool this summer.

Our Take on Yildiz and Juventus

They don’t necessarily need to do it timing-wise, as he’s under contract for several more years already, but the sirens would soon be too loud to be comfortable if it didn’t happen. The most positive piece of news for them is that he’s becoming the technical leader they anointed him to be a little too early based on what he showed.
