Former Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini, now part of the club’s management, commented on the ongoing negotiations to extend the contract of young talent Kenan Yildiz. The experienced Italian defender indicated that both sides are eager to reach an agreement and finalize the deal.
Yildiz is considered one of the biggest prospects in the Turin club, and after a successful season, his new contract is expected to bring a significant salary increase. According to available information, the young Turkish international could earn around 5.5 to 6 million euros per year, placing him among the highest-paid players in the team.
Chiellini emphasized that the process requires patience and careful consideration. Although fans are waiting impatiently for an official confirmation of the deal, the former defender reassured the public that all parties are determined to achieve a successful outcome. Juventus reportedly plans to sign a long-term contract running until 2030.
Several major European clubs, including some from the Premier League and Real Madrid, have also shown interest in Yildiz. However, Juventus views the young forward as a key figure for the future and intends to build the team around him in the coming years.
Chiellini’s remarks brought at least partial reassurance to the fans. If the agreement is finalized soon, it will serve as further proof that Juventus, even after a challenging period, remains capable of keeping its top talents and planning for long-term success.
