Kenan Yildiz’s story with Juventus is continuing - the no.10 has renewed his contract to keep him in bianconero until 30 June, 2030.
Yildiz’ Juventus story is one that began in the summer of 2022, when he arrived in Turin after having played in Bayern Munich’s youth ranks. He first represented us at Under-19 level, playing 37 times and scoring 15 goals in his first season. In that same first year, he made his professional debut for the Next Gen side on 17 December, 2022. His first goal with them came in September 2023.
In that autumn of 2023 he found space in the Men’s First Team squad, and he marked his first-team debut with a goal against Frosinone on 23 December of that year.
In two-and-a-half seasons with the Men’s First Team, he has accumulated 115 appearances, scoring 25 times and providing 19 more assists. Those numbers clearly show his impact and importance to the side, as does the fact that he has taken the famous no.10 shirt. As well, against Verona on 20 September, 2025, he became the youngest player in the Club’s history to wear the captain’s armband.
Kenan embodies leadership, sacrifice, and the constant pursuit of improvement. He is the personification of Juventus’ values, and he carries them onto the pitch in every game he plays.
In Turkish, the word ‘Yildiz’ means ‘star, and that is exactly what he has proven himself to be with us.
