Juventus have officially announced a contract extension for Kenan Yıldız, tying the Turkish starlet to the club for the next four and a half years. Under the new deal, Yıldız is expected to earn a net salary of €6 million per season, placing him among the highest-paid players in the Juventus squad and underlining the club’s long-term faith in his importance.
Yıldız joined Juventus on July 12, 2022, after arriving from the Bayern Munich youth academy, and has since developed into a key figure for the Bianconeri. He has already made 115 appearances for the Juventus first team, contributing 25 goals and 19 assists across all competitions.
During the current season, Yıldız has been a central presence, recording 8 goals and 5 assists in 23 Serie A appearances, along with 1 goal and 3 assists in 8 Champions League matches, plus a Coppa Italia appearance.
His rise has also been marked by historic milestones, most notably becoming the youngest player in Juventus history to wear the captain’s armband in September 2025. He further reached his 100th appearance for the club on November 25, 2025, during a Champions League match against Bodø/Glimt, cementing his status as one of the club’s most important players for both the present and the future.
Yildiz is considered as an integral part of Luciano Spalletti’s plans in Juventus.
