Juventus met with the agents of Kenan Yildiz recently to continue negotiations for his new long-term contract, reports detail.
The Turkish teenager joined the Bianconeri from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022, spending a year in the youth teams before breaking into Massimiliano Allegri’s senior squad earlier this campaign.
Yildiz has hit the ground running with Juventus, scoring three goals in 13 appearances under Allegri, quickly emerging as one of the most exciting youngsters in Serie A. A number of clubs are interested in signing the teenager, including Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Arsenal.
As reported by TMW, Juventus met with Yildiz’s representatives last week to continue talks regarding the teenager’s new contract, which is set to last until June 2029.
The 18-year-old currently earns around €300,000 including add-ons and the Bianconeri’s plan is to tripe his wages to over €1m net per season, warding off any possible suitors and keeping the talent in Turin.
Talks between the two parties will continue over the coming weeks and things will likely be made official before the end of the season.
