Juventus are on the verge of tying down Kenan Yildiz to a new long-term contract, with the Turkish star set to become the cornerstone of the club’s present and future.
With the January transfer window now closed, the Bianconeri are ready to complete what many fans see as their most important move of the season: the renewal of arguably their best player.
Talks have advanced significantly in recent days, with only the final details left to be resolved before the agreement is sealed, as per the Corriere dello Sport.

Yildiz signs with Juventus until 2031: the details
Yildiz is expected to sign a new deal running until June 2031, extending his current contract by a further two years.
The Turkish forward will also receive a major salary increase in line with his new status within the squad.
His wages are set to rise to €6m net per season, which would make him Juventus’ second-joint highest earner, alongside Jonathan David, behind Dusan Vlahovic.
Securing Yildiz’s future was one of the club’s top priorities at the start of 2026.
Juventus ownership have given clear instructions to build around the young forward, who has already attracted interest from several European giants, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Barring any last-minute complications, Juventus are now closing in on the finish line.
