The latest development follows Turkish-Football breaking Arsenal interest in Yildiz last month.
Kenan Yildiz, the Turkish teenager turning heads across Europe, seems to be painting his name in gold. Fresh off his first national team goal, he’s now bagged his first for Juventus under the legendary Massimiliano Allegri.
This strike in Turkiye’s 3-2 victory against Germany ignited interest from European giants, while his performance for Juve solidified his growing reputation.
Yildiz scored in his first start for Juventus in the victory over Frosinone.
Despite facing financial strain, Juventus are at a crossroads regarding Yildiz. While offers around €40 million would be considered, a January loan is off the table for now.
Following his goal against Frosinone, Yildiz exuded pure joy. “I’m ecstatic,” he said. “Allegri is a fantastic coach, I owe him a lot. When he suggested I cut my hair, I did it without hesitation – he’s the boss. And my celebration? Dedicated to Del Piero, a Juve legend.”
Yildiz’s words speak volumes about his respect for Allegri and his inspiration from Juve’s past.
Allegri has also been full of praise for Yildiz: “Yildiz is young and has enthusiasm, which is needed at these moments. He is wise for his age. I picked him when Chiesa got injured, he is Chiesa’s natural replacement.”
