Tuttosport outline how Juventus view Kenan Yildiz as a symbol for the future of the club, with a contract renewal and the ’10’ shirt on the horizon. The Turin-based newspaper highlight that Yildiz’s performances with the Turkish national team underscore his role as a cornerstone for the future of Juventus.
The 18-year-old talent showcased his versatility, even featuring as a forward for his country, earning praise from coach Max Allegri, who anticipates his return to Juventus with renewed confidence after limited playing time in Turin in previous weeks.
Yildiz is regarded as a player of significant technical prowess and image appeal. Consequently, Juventus, beyond simply renewing his contract (set to expire in 2027, currently at €300,000), are inclined to bestow upon him the prestigious number 10 shirt, as reported by Tuttosport. This move represents an “iconic” investment, especially for a player who counts Alex Del Piero among his idols, even mimicking his goal celebrations.
According to reports, Kenan possesses all the attributes to embody the symbolic essence of the future of Juventus: young, talented, acquired for a nominal fee (practically nothing), and above all, untouchable, akin to very few others in the squad. The Bianconeri club aims to anoint him as the emblem of the new Juventus era, a sentiment echoed unanimously at the Continassa training ground.
