Juventus to lock down Kenan Yildiz

Multiple reports in Italy suggest that Kenan Yildiz will sign a new long-term contract at Juventus and change his agents too.

The Turkey international turns 19 next month and his current contract was only signed in August 2023, with an expiry date of June 2027.

However, since then he has been promoted full-time to the senior squad and made 22 Serie A appearances, plus three in the Coppa Italia, contributing three goals.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a new contract has been agreed to June 2028 with improved salary, while Tuttosport suggest the deal will instead run to June 2029.

The transfer expert maintains that straight after the signature, Kenan Yildiz will part company with Leaderbrocks agency due to differing views on how to handle his future.

Tuttosport believe Juventus want to make Yildiz a cornerstone of the new squad, following in the footsteps of his hero Alessandro Del Piero by giving him the prestigious Number 10 jersey.

Born in Germany to Turkish parents, Yildiz was a product of the Bayern Munich youth academy before his free transfer to Juventus in the summer of 2022.
