Kenan Yildiz has only been at Juventus since 2022, but he is already in line for his fourth contract, according to Italian media.

The Turkish wonderkid is the great hope of the future at Juventus. Yildiz hasn't always been happy with his playing time in Turin, believing since breaking into the side that he is good enough to be a superstar.

This has caused some friction - and led to transfer speculation - but Juventus are now said to be ready to grant him his wish. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri will build their team around the 20-year-old this summer.

Juventus are once again set for a major rebuild after Cristiano Giuntoli's experiment with Thiago Motta backfired. The transfer guru had to pay for this failure with his job, while Igor Tudor has replaced Motta.

Under Tudor, Juventus managed to sneak into the Champions League, which has given them a massive financial boost, and they will put this money to good use.

Yildiz to receive new deal

The above-mentioned outlet states that Yildiz is in line for a new contract to reflect his growing importance, which would already be his fourth since joining in 2022.

Last year, the versatile attacker was given a pay increase and Alessandro del Piero's iconic No.10 shirt. He will again have his earnings adjusted and be brought in line with the club's bigger names, with an annual salary of €4 million plus bonuses on the table.

This is being described as an 'anti-Premier League' contract as Yildiz has been attracting interest from England for years. He was already on the radar of Arsenal and Liverpool during his time in Bayern's academy, while more recently, Chelsea have often been linked with him.

Yildiz is reportedly valued at around €90m by Juventus, but the Serie A giant have made it clear that he is essentially 'untouchable,' at least for the foreseeable future.
