The new contract negotiations between Juventus and Kenan Yıldız have stalled due to a salary difference. While the club has offered 5 million euros, the player's side is asking for a higher amount. Juventus is offering the young player an annual salary of 5 million euros, including bonuses, but his father, Engin Yıldız, is requesting a higher figure, citing his son's performance and potential as justification.
The shining star of Juventus and one of the key players of the national team, Kenan Yıldız, is facing a deadlock in the ongoing contract negotiations. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the salary negotiations between the parties are progressing slower than expected.
FATHER IS ALSO INVOLVED
Both the club and the player are eager to extend the contract, but the disagreement over the salary has stalled the process. Juventus has offered the young player an annual salary of 5 million euros, including bonuses, while father Engin Yıldız is demanding a higher figure, citing his son's performance and potential.
BIG CLUBS ARE WATCHING
Kenan Yıldız being on the radar of European giants has made the negotiations even more complicated. Among the clubs interested in the young star, Liverpool and Manchester City stand out. It has also been reported that major teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich are closely monitoring the 20-year-old player. This interest is increasing the transfer pressure, despite Juventus wanting to accelerate the contract process.
JUVENTUS IS NOT KEEN ON A DEPARTURE
The Italian club is determined to keep its young star in the squad. Juventus management sees Kenan Yıldız as "one of the key players of the future" and is definitely closed to evaluating transfer offers. However, it is noted that if the salary gap does not close, the transfer scenario for Kenan Yıldız could come back on the agenda at the end of the season.
AN INDISPENSABLE PLAYER FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM
The 20-year-old player, in addition to his consistent performance with Juventus, is also one of the most trusted names in the national team under Montella. Kenan Yıldız has scored 3 goals in 9 matches this season in Serie A and European competitions.
