JAKARTA - Juventus will renew the contract of young player Kenan Yildiz. Juve does not want to lose the best asset that will become the rising star so that his salary is increased three times.

Yildiz immediately moved quickly when he entered the Massimiliano Allegri squad. Previously, Yildiz joined the Juve junior team when he was recruited from Bayern Munich in 2022.

The 18-year-old player immediately skyrocketed in the junior team. Not surprisingly, he got a call to enter the senior team.

The performance of this German-born player is indeed surprising. Playing in Serie A, Yildiz managed to score three goals during his 13 appearances at the Bianconeri. He is also believed to be a future star in the Italian League.

Yildiz also has a distinctive style. Attack midfielders who can also play on this wing always stick out their tongue every time they celebrate goals.

This reminds the legend Juve, Alessandro del Piero, who also did the same when celebrating. Yildiz himself idolizes Del Piero so he follows his celebration style

Yildiz immediately attracted the interest of a number of clubs. It was noted that two Turkish clubs, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, wanted to bring Yildiz home. In addition, Arsenal has shown interest.

However, Juve doesn't want to let go of his assets. More than that, the Serie A giant plans to renew Yildiz's contract. The club wants to give a long contract with a duration of up to 2029.

Not only that, Yildiz's salary was increased three times. Previously, Yildiz only received a small salary of 300 thousand euros or approximately 5.1 billion rupiah per year. This means that he gets a salary of around Rp. 100 million every week.

According to the plan, the club will provide a net salary of more than 1 million euros or 17 billion annually.

The two sides immediately met to discuss the extension of the contract. These negotiations are expected to be final before the competition ends.
