Juventus are optimistic about keeping Kenan Yildiz, as the young Turkish star’s contract talks continue amidst interest from top Premier League clubs.

Juventus are confident that they can retain Kenan Yildiz, one of their most exciting young players, despite the interest from top Premier League clubs.

The 20-year-old has impressed with his performances in Serie A, becoming a regular starter and a key player for the team.

Yildiz’s contract is up for renewal, and he’s seeking a significant upgrade from his current €1.5 million per year deal. Comparisons have been made to teammate Jonathan David, who earns roughly four times as much, and Yildiz is looking for a contract that reflects his rapid rise.

Several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Arsenal, have been monitoring the situation, but Juventus is hopeful that Yildiz will stay. Sources close to the player suggest he’s happy in Turin and is prepared to stay, provided the club meets his financial and sporting expectations.

The delay in contract progress is partly due to structural changes behind the scenes, with Luciano Spalletti’s appointment as the new head coach and the search for a new sporting director. Once the club is more settled, Yildiz’s contract will become a priority, and they’re keen to keep him on a deal until 2030.

Juventus are aware that they need to make a satisfactory offer to keep Yildiz, and they’re working on it. The club is confident that they can meet his expectations and keep him in Turin.
