The young Turkish prodigy is considered one of the brightest hopes of European football, but his transition to Juventus was not always pink. On several occasions, Yildiz was frustrated by his lack of playing time in the first team.
The 19 -year -old needed a clear discussion with Massimiliano Allegri last season to get playing time. Likewise, he would have had problems with Thiago Motta before his recent dismissal.
Kenan Yildiz runs heads
The situation was different under the direction of Igor Tudor, Yildiz benefiting from more playing time, but that has hardly appeased speculations concerning his future.
A new summer promises to be a success for Juventus after Motta's failure, and Yildiz, despite rumors of the last two weeks, could be one of the Mercato protagonists for the old lady.

Following a fund contribution from its owners, the Agnelli family, Juventus would have decided that Yildiz was untouchable this summer. A new contract – his third since his arrival at the club in 2022 – was even mentioned, but the young player has suitors.
Footmercato now reports that Chelsea, who has been linked to him for months, “Access negotiations after a first contact with Juventus concerning its availability”.
Kenan Yildiz very coveted
Chelsea is aware that the bianconeri are reluctant to sell, but they would pressure so that the giants of the Serie A envisaged a potential sale.
