Multiple sources claim that Juventus have reached an agreement to extend Kenan Yildiz’s contract so the Turkish star will become the highest-paid player at the Allianz Stadium in 2026-27.

Juventus will announce Yildiz’s contract extension in the coming hours. According to Gazzetta and Fabrizio Romano, the Bianconeri have reached an agreement to renew the 20-year-old’s deal.

Yildiz’s current contract expires in June 2029, but the two parties have agreed to extend it until 2030.

Yildiz’s salary will increase by more than threefold, going from €1.7m per season to €6m until the end of 2025-26 and €7m from next season.

Yildiz will become the highest-paid player in the team from the following campaign, given that Dusan Vlahovic, who earns €12m per season, is expected to leave Turin at the end of his contract in June.
