Juventus are ready to do anything to convince Kenan Yildiz to extend his contract. According to Sportmediasetafter a first offer of 4.5 million euros per season deemed insufficient, the club now offers 6 million per year for a contract until 2031, in order to show the young Turk his central place in the bianconero project. A proposal which also aims to dissuade him from giving in to the numerous requests from European clubs, including Real Madrid. Luciano Spalletti recently highlighted the importance of the player: “To Kenan, I wish well as to a son, I know that he can change the course of a match at any moment. No one will ever be able to make me doubt his great availability, he has the behavior of a top player, but he must better understand when to break through with the ball”.

Spalletti’s message is clear: “He knows he is our number 10: he must take responsibility and listen to my instructions”. The Turk’s performances under Lucio’s leadership are already very promising, with five goals and two assists since his arrival on the Juve bench. The signing of the new contract could take place as early as the start of next year, allowing all parties to fully concentrate on collective objectives, including qualification for the Champions League.
