Juventus Accelerates Kenan Yildiz Renewal Talks to 2030 With Big Pay Rise

The move signals a plan to make him the club’s focal point to deter renewed approaches from wealthy suitors.

Overview

  • Juventus has opened intensified negotiations to extend Yildiz’s deal to 2030 with a possible 2031 option, targeting about €3.5–3.6 million net per year with bonuses lifting the package above €5 million, according to reports.
  • Discussions are being led by Damien Comolli and François Modesto with Yildiz’s father Engin as the primary representative, while major agencies have shown interest but have not replaced the current arrangement.
  • Yildiz’s contract currently runs to 2029 and he earns roughly €1.5 million plus bonuses; the proposed raise would place him among the club’s top earners behind Dusan Vlahovic and alongside Gleison Bremer and Jonathan David.
  • Juventus rebuffed early-summer interest from Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Chelsea, and La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Comolli turned down a €70 million Chelsea bid in late July.
  • Coach Igor Tudor has elevated Yildiz’s role on the pitch and in the dressing room, including vice-captain status, as the club positions him at the center of its sporting and commercial project.
