Juventus is currently in the process of drafting a fresh contract for promising young talent Kenan Yildiz, who could potentially step into Federico Chiesa’s shoes in Turin.
At just 18 years old, the Turkish forward has made significant strides in Massimiliano Allegri’s senior squad this season, showcasing his skills by netting three goals in his initial 15 appearances for the club. Yildiz’s noteworthy performances even earned him a call-up to the Turkish national team, where he scored during his debut match.
While Yildiz’s star has been on the ascent in Turin this season, Federico Chiesa, the standout winger, has faced challenges maintaining consistent match fitness. The 26-year-old has been absent from Juventus’ starting lineup for the past seven consecutive league fixtures due to ongoing knee troubles.
Today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, particularly pages two and three, reveals Juventus’ intention to engage in discussions with Yildiz’s representatives at the season’s end to negotiate a new long-term contract. The club aims to extend his current agreement until June 2029 while ensuring his annual salary reaches at least €1 million after taxes.
The Bianconeri firmly believe that the 18-year-old is an integral component of their future in Turin and envision his continued presence in Allegri’s squad for the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, Chiesa’s existing contract with Juventus expires in the summer of 2025, and negotiations thus far have failed to yield a resolution. Should an agreement remain elusive by summer, Juventus might consider selling Chiesa, potentially paving the way for Yildiz to assume his position.
