Juventus Confirm Kenan Yildiz Extension to 2030 With Big Pay Rise

The deal elevates his status in the squad with a reported salary jump, reflecting the club’s plan to anchor its future around him.

Overview

  • Juventus announced the renewal at a pre-match media event, with CEO Damien Comolli and Kenan Yildiz on stage to confirm the contract through June 2030.
  • Italian reports put his wages at about €6m net through 2025-26, rising to around €7m from 2026-27, which could make him the top earner if Dusan Vlahovic leaves.
  • The extension follows earlier reporting of a verbal agreement, upgrading a previous deal that was due to run to 2029.
  • Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid had been tracking Yildiz, but the new agreement reduces the likelihood of an immediate move.
  • Coach Luciano Spalletti called it an important day for Juventus’ future and praised the 20-year-old’s leadership, with coverage citing nine goals and eight assists in 31 matches this season.
