The versatile attacker, who now wears the iconic shirt number 10, has become an influential player at the Bianconeri. This season the counter stands at nine goals and eight assists in 31 official matches.
“I am extremely happy to extend my contract and to be part of the history of Juventus, as part of your family. I am confident that we will achieve great things in the future,” said Yildiz after his contract extension. “I love Juventus because since I arrived I have always had the feeling that we will achieve great things together.”
Juventus is also overjoyed to have signed the super talent for a longer period of time. ‘Leadership, sacrifice, constant pursuit of improvement, appreciation of talent: Kenan embodies the style and values of our club and characterizes our ambition on the pitch. In Turkish, the word Yildiz means ‘star’ and Kenan’s star will continue to shine in black and white,” the club wrote.
Yildiz was previously recognized by, among others La Gazzetta dello Sport linked with clubs such as Real Madrid and Arsenal. For the time being, however, his future lies in Turin.
