Kenan Yildiz has hit the ground running since breaking into Massimiliano Allegri’s squad and his future at Juventus already seems certain.
The 18-year-old Turkish forward joined the Bianconeri from Bayern Munich’s youth system in July 2022 on a free transfer and spent his debut season in Italy in the Primavera and Next Gen squads, shining at youth level.
Yildiz was promoted to Allegri’s first team this term and has instantly made a strong impression, scoring goals against Frosinone and Salernitana whilst exciting fans with his technical abilities and electricity on the pitch. He has already broken into the Turkey squad, scoring once across three caps.
As highlighted by Il Bianconero, Juventus have no interest in letting Yildiz leave in the winter transfer window and are not planning to sell him in the summer, despite interest from a number of clubs like Liverpool, Fenerbahce and Benfica.
The Old Lady are planning to keep the 18-year-old in their squad for the foreseeable future, allowing him to continue his development and possibly grow into a regular starter.
