Kenan Yildiz Will Become Juventus’ Second-Highest Earner With New Contract Imminent

Kenan Yildiz is close to signing a contract renewal with Juventus, keeping him at the Allianz Stadium until 2031.

The terms of the new deal will mean that the Bianconeri’s poster boy is the second-highest paid player at the club behind Dusan Vlahovic.

Corriere dello Sport reports that the final details are all that is left to be finalized. The news will come as a huge relief for the Old Lady faithful who appear to have tied down their most prized asset.

Kenan Yildiz Set To Sign New Juventus Contract

After the positive advancements regarding Kenan Yildiz’s Juventus contract extension last week, it will likely just be a matter of time but the Bianconeri make their official announcement.

Keeping Yildiz on board has been the priority for Juve head coach Luciano Spalletti. Especially after his glowing performances for the Old Lady this term.

The Serie A giants even put a €100million price tag on Yildiz to ward off the advances of Real Madrid. Alvaro Arbeola’s side – like many of Europe’s elite – were closely monitoring the Turkish star.

Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are all set to miss out on the 20-year-old left winger. Which doesn’t come as a huge surprise after Yildiz confessed he wanted to ‘stay at Juventus for life’ in the summer.

From the supporters perspective, tying Yildiz has been the most important move of the campaign. It will shut down many rumors and allow the club to look forward to restoring former glories in Turin.

How Much Will Kenan Yildiz Earn At Juventus?

Under the terms of Kenan Yildiz’s current Juventus contract, he currently pockets €1.5m per year. With the new deal on the table, Yildiz will bank a basic salary of €6m.

That sizable increase reflects the Turkey international’s status and importance to the Bianconeri. Something of which his teammates and huge fan base can all agree to.

Unsurprisingly, Juve contract rebel Dusan Vlahovic – who is interesting Chelsea and Newcastle – is by far the biggest earner in Turin.

Vlahovic is the final five months of his €22m per annum salary. He is likely to leave the Old Lady in June which has the potential to make Yildiz the Serie A giants highest earner alongside Jonathan David.

Since coming to prominence at the Allianz in 2023, Yildiz has made 115 appearances and scored 25 goals across all competitions. He has also chipped in with 19 assists.

In terms of personal accolades, Yildiz was named in the Serie A Team of the Year for 2024-25. Furthermore, he won the Serie A Goal of the Season in the same campaign for his effort in the Derby della Mole against Torino.

Yildiz was also the recipient of the 2024 Golden Boy Web Award. For Juve, he was part of the side who won the 2023-24 Coppa Italia against Atalanta.
