Juventus are focused on revitalizing Kenan Yildiz, but acknowledge the player could be sold in the future for a significant fee, according to reports in Italy. The 21-year-old forward endured a physically and psychologically draining season, culminating in disappointment at the recent World Cup, and has reportedly not been at his best for the past three months.
Juventus view Yildiz as central to their rebuilding project under coach Luciano Spalletti, believing he is currently the only player in the squad capable of decisively impacting match outcomes. Spalletti is reportedly “enamored” with the player’s talent and potential. The club recognizes that Yildiz’s performance is crucial, not only for immediate success but also for their long-term ambitions.
Despite this importance, Juventus are realistic about the financial realities of Italian football and would consider selling Yildiz in one or two seasons if a substantial offer were to arrive. The club indicated that any such offer would need to be a three-figure sum, providing funds to acquire other high-caliber players. While acknowledging Yildiz’s potential to emulate Alessandro Del Piero’s legendary loyalty to the club, they remain aware of the transient nature of modern football.
Currently, Yildiz is under contract with Juventus for five years and has expressed his intention to honor the agreement. However, the club is prepared to view a future sale as a potential opportunity to strengthen the squad financially. Recovering Yildiz’s form is seen as aligning the interests of Spalletti, sporting director Giovanni Carnevali, and the club’s supporters, who recognize him as a key figure in escaping the technical mediocrity of recent years.
Notably, Yildiz arrived at Juventus during a successful transfer window, alongside Bremer, while subsequent signings have largely failed to deliver and are now being offered for sale. Juventus’ management understands that even a fully fit and in-form Yildiz may not be enough to salvage the team if they continue to make poor recruitment decisions.
