Juventus are close to extending Kenan Yildiz’s contract, with the 20-year-old set to become the club’s highest-paid player.
Juventus are reportedly closing in on a new contract agreement with rising star Kenan Yildiz.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a standout 2025–26 campaign, establishing himself as one of the brightest talents in Serie A and a central figure in Juventus’ long-term plans.
Yildiz has already scored eight league goals this season, surpassing his total from last term, and sits just one strike away from reaching double figures for goals across all competitions. His overall impact has been even more impressive, with 17 goal contributions in 29 appearances in all competitions, underlining his growing importance to the Bianconeri attack.
Although Yildiz is already under contract until 2029, Juventus are keen to move quickly to secure his future and eliminate any risk of interest from rival clubs across Europe.
Club officials believe a revised and improved deal would reflect his rapid development and reward his influence, while also reinforcing Juventus’ commitment to building around young talent.
With Dusan Vlahovic increasingly expected to leave when his contract expires at the end of the 2025–26 season, Yildiz is poised to step into a leading role, both on the pitch and on the wage bill, once his new agreement is finalised.
