Kenan Yildiz Signs Extended Juventus Contract Through To 2029

Kenan Yildiz has renewed his Juventus contract, extending his tenure until the end of the 2028-29 season. The young star will also adopt the number 10 shirt, signaling his rising prominence within the team.

Kenan Yildiz has extended his contract with Juventus, committing to the club until the end of the 2028-29 season. The 19-year-old will also wear the number 10 shirt, previously worn by Paul Pogba, for the upcoming campaign.

Yildiz had a standout year with Juventus last season, making his debut against Udinese in August and appearing in 27 league matches. He scored his first goal in his first start during a 2-1 victory over Frosinone and added another goal two games later in the Coppa Italia against the same team.

Yildiz Secures Juventus Stay Until 2029

The young midfielder also played a significant role for Turkiye at Euro 2024, helping them reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2008. Yildiz featured in all of Turkiye's matches in Germany, showcasing his talent on an international stage.

Turkiye made history by becoming the first nation since Hungary at Euro 1964 to have two players under 20 years old in a major tournament knockout match. Yildiz lined up alongside Real Madrid's Arda Guler in their 2-1 win over Austria.

Juventus will begin their league season next week against Como at Allianz Stadium. New head coach Thiago Motta is optimistic about starting his tenure with a victory.
