Italian Serie A team Juventus wants to extend the contract of our national football player Kenan Yıldız. The Italian team also plans to give the number 10 jersey to the 19-year-old player in the new season. Kenan, who played for our National Team in EURO 2024 and played in every match, was criticized throughout the tournament for his performance.
Juventus, the Italian giant, has taken 2 important steps regarding the future of our national football player Kenan Yıldız, who appeared with the Turkish National Team in EURO 2024.
NEW CONTRACT AND NUMBER 10 JERSEY
According to the news in the Italian press, it was stated that the Turin representative wants to extend the contract of the 19-year-old player until 2029 and negotiations are ongoing. It was also reported that Juventus plans to give Kenan Yıldız the number 10 jersey in the new period.
POST FROM JUVENTUS
Juventus shared a video about Kenan Yıldız on their social media account. It is noteworthy that the date 16.07.2024 is included at the end of the video where the young player is hidden. The decisions are expected to be announced on this date.
"WON'T TURN DOWN THE CLUB"
It was stated that Kenan Yıldız does not have a request for the number 10 jersey, but if an offer comes from the club in this direction, he will accept this offer. Currently, the number 10 jersey is worn by Paul Pogba at Juventus. However, the French star had received a ban from football due to doping.
STATISTICS FROM LAST SEASON
The national football player, who played in 32 matches last season at Juventus, celebrated 4 goals. The 19-year-old young star, who is also one of the indispensable names of the Turkish National Team, which reached the quarter-finals in EURO 2024, played in all 5 matches of the tournament. Kenan, whose current market value is shown as 30 million euros, has a contract with Juventus until 2027.
BEEN THE TARGET OF CRITICISM
Kenan Yıldız, one of the young football players of the Turkish National Team, which succeeded in reaching the quarter-finals in the 2024 European Football Championship, was criticized throughout the tournament due to his performance. Even Vincenzo Montella, the coach of the national team who gave Kenan a chance in the starting 11 and kept him on the field for a long time, also received his share of these criticisms. The sad images of the 19-year-old star, which were reflected in the cameras after the Netherlands match and on the return journey to the country, also attracted attention.
FOLLOWING IN DEL PIERO'S FOOTSTEPS
If Kenan Yıldız wears the number 10 jersey at Juventus, he will be following in the footsteps of his idol and club legend Alessandro Del Piero. The national player previously stated that the Italian legend is one of his idols, and the two later met.
