10 - Kenan Yildiz

[Socrates 8749]

Juventus and Kenan Yildiz could part ways at the end of the season

 

 

Kenan Yildiz has quickly emerged as one of Juventus’ brightest prospects, and the club is looking to build its future around the Turkish youngster. The attacker has impressed since making his way into the first team, delivering some fine performances that have drawn attention from both fans and pundits alike. Yildiz is seen as a potential star who can help Juve return to their former glory, and the Bianconeri are confident that he will develop into a key player for the club.

 

However, despite the high hopes surrounding him, manager Thiago Motta has started Yildiz on the bench in recent matches. ............

 

This situation has caused frustration among Yildiz’s entourage, and there are growing concerns about the attacker’s future at Juventus. While Yildiz is considered one of the few players at the club who is deemed “least transferable,” there is a possibility that he could leave at the end of the season. The report suggests that, if a substantial offer comes in for the young player, Juventus may be tempted to sell him, especially if his performances do not improve. ............

Giuntoli sets the prize for Kenan Yildiz amidst interest from Arsenal, Chelsea & Manchester duo

 

 

These days, everyone apparently has a prize at Juventus, and this includes the club’s crowned future superstar, Kenan Yildiz. ............

 

Last summer, the teenager penned a new long-term deal and was also rewarded with the iconic Number 10 jersey which was donned by some of the club’s biggest icons, including his idol Alessandro Del Piero.

 

But like the vast majority of his teammates, Yildiz hasn’t been enjoying his best campaign, as he continues to struggle to make an impact at a team that lacks a clear direction.

 

Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli would be willing to entertain offers for Yildiz starting from 80 million euros, a figure that could prove irresistible for the Serie A giants who are not enjoying the healthiest finances at the moment, to say the least. ............

 

The winger doesn’t lack suitors, as at least four Premier League giants are on his trail. The source confirms the interest of Chelsea and Arsenal. The two Londoners have been linked with the Turkiye international for quite some time now.

 

Moreover, the report mentions Manchester City and their crosstown rivals Manchester United as keen admirers as well.

 

Juventus don’t want to be caught unprepared. This explains why they have been recently linked with wantaway Atalanta star Ademola Lookman. The Bianconeri have also revived their interest in Borussia Dortmund star Karim Adeyemi.

 

These two players would be direct replacements for the young Turk. They also have lower asking prices, which would allow Juventus to reinvest some of the cash collected from Yildiz’s hypothetical sale on bolstering other departments.

Juventus criticised for their treatment of teenage attacker

 

 

Juventus has made Kenan Yildiz an integral part of their squad, entrusting him with the prestigious number 10 shirt, a jersey historically worn by some of the club’s greatest players. The decision to hand such responsibility to the young Turkish attacker was a testament to the faith the Bianconeri have in his abilities. However, while Yildiz has shown glimpses of brilliance this season, his form has dipped in recent weeks, raising concerns over whether too much pressure has been placed on his shoulders too soon. ............

 

Andrea Bosco believes that the club may have mismanaged Yildiz’s development and that sending him on loan would have been a better approach. He said: “He is definitely a very technical player who could have a brilliant career. Yildiz is not Del Piero, today he is not even Galderisi in terms of goals scored. My idea is that you should have loaned him to a mid-table team and let him mature so as not to put pressure on him, instead here he was even given the number ten shirt. There is a management that I don’t like at the club.” ............

Why sending Yildiz out on loan next season makes sense

 

 

Kenan Yildiz has looked lost in the recent games he has played for Juventus, and he needs a boost to his confidence sooner rather than later.

 

At the start of the campaign, when Thiago Motta confirmed him as a starter in his group, it seemed the youngster would take the league by storm. ............

 

Juventus boasts several top young talents, but Yildiz was the one most fans were excited about at the beginning of the season. Unfortunately, he has not yet lived up to the expectations placed upon him. Currently, the attacker is one of the players struggling to find form under Motta’s management. ............

 

Wearing the prestigious number 10 shirt and playing for a big club like Juventus can be a heavy burden for a young player, and it may be affecting Yildiz’s confidence and performances. ............

 

It might be wise for Yildiz to take a break from the intense spotlight of Juventus and consider a loan move away from the Allianz Stadium. A temporary move could help him regain his confidence and allow him to play without the weight of constant expectations. ............

 

 A loan spell would provide him with valuable experience, and when he returns to Juventus, he could do so as a more refined and confident player, ready to make a more significant impact.

Kenan Yildiz price set as Man United & Liverpool keep close tabs

 

 

Juventus teenager Kenan Yildiz continues to attract great interest from the Premier League, as Manchester United and others remain hot on his heels.

 

The 19-year-old was poached by the Bianconeri in the summer of 2022. He had spent the previous 10 years at Bayern Munich’s academy. ............

 

However, it has been a complicated campaign for Yildiz under the recently sacked Thiago Motta. While he had his exploits against the likes of PSV Eindhoven, Inter and Torino, he just hasn’t been delivering the goods consistently, prompting many to believe he’s no longer an ‘unsellable’ player for Juventus. ............

 

So Juventus have set their asking price for Yildiz at 80 million euros, and they’re not willing to offer any discounts.

 

The Turkiye international has at least three suitors among the Premier League’s biggest clubs, namely Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea. ............

Tudor could be the last manager Yildiz needs to get back to form or sold

 

 

The time has come for Kenan Yildiz to prove that he is worthy of wearing the prestigious number 10 shirt at Juventus.

 

After making an impressive start to the season, the young attacker is now struggling to maintain his form. His development has not been helped by Thiago Motta’s tactical adjustments, which frequently saw him deployed in different positions on the pitch. ............

 

With a new manager now at the helm, Igor Tudor will be tasked with unlocking Yildiz’s best form. This will be a crucial period for the attacker, as he must demonstrate that he can perform at the level Juventus require. Tudor’s approach could provide him with the stability and guidance necessary to rediscover his early-season form.

 

However, if Yildiz continues to struggle despite the managerial change, it will become increasingly difficult to attribute his poor performance to coaching decisions. Instead, the focus will shift to the player, raising questions about whether he is truly ready for a long-term role at the club. ............

Kenan Yildiz secured another piece of history in Juventus’ win over Genoa

 

 

Juventus starlet Kenan Yildiz entered the 2024-25 season with plenty of hope attached to his teenage shoulders. Not just because of his new jersey number that is the most-storied couple of digits in bianconero.

 

Yildiz made a bit of history in Juventus’ opening Champions League fixture this season back in September, becoming the youngest Bianconeri player to score in the UCL, a record previously held by his idol, Alessandro Del Piero. He added his name to the record books in Juve’s Derby della Mole victory over Torino back before the November international break.

 

On Saturday, he again made some history.

 

With his stunning solo effort that proved to be the game-winning strike against Genoa at the Allianz Stadium, Yildiz equalled a mark another familiar name to Juventus fans within the last decade, Moise Kean. It was Yildiz’s seventh Serie A goal as a teenager, pulling him even with Kean for the most goals from a Juventus player before their 20th birthday during the league’s three-point era. And just like with his first-ever Champions League goal that gave him a little bit of bragging rights over the man who celebrates each goal like, Saturday’s strike now gives Yildiz one more goal in Serie A before turning 20 — which will happen on May 4 — than that same Del Piero fella who was the subject of multiple songs from the Juve ultras during the win. ............

 

Saturday’s goal was Yildiz’s fifth in Serie A and seven in all competitions this season. He’s certainly had his ups and downs in terms of both his overall form as well as the reported issues with now-former manager Thiago Motta over the last month or two before the Italo-Brazilian’s firing over the international break.

 

One more goal and Yildiz will have officially doubled his total from all competitions last season when he scored four goals in 32 appearances, with all but 10 of those off the bench. ............

 

After Saturday’s win, Yildiz has played 2,853 minutes in all competitions this season. Last year, he played 1,096 minutes between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

 

Yildiz still has another month to add onto this total and break the tie he currently has with Kean in terms of goals scored in Serie A as a teenager with Juventus. His 20th birthday comes on a day in which fourth place could very well be on the line, when Juventus will face the team that is directly in front of them in the league table, Bologna, at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

Juventus want to avoid another Huijsen blunder as they take Man Utd target off the market

 

 

Juventus have reportedly decided to keep Kenan Yildiz in Turin for next season, regardless of Champions League football.

 

The Turkiye international is arguably the club’s biggest asset at the moment, with an estimated value just below 100 million euros.

 

Therefore, there have been growing rumours claiming Juventus could sacrifice the 19-year-old, especially if they fail to secure a spot in next season’s edition of the Champions League. ............

 

Juventus have made up their mind about Yildiz, and they are determined to maintain his services beyond the current campaign, as they don’t want to regret offloading another young jewel after allowing Dean Huijsen to slip through their fingers by selling him to Bournemouth last summer. ............

 

The club’s majority owners could inject a capital increase worth 110 million euros in the coming months. This sum should be enough to counter the consequences of missing out on the Champions League, and thus relieve the pressure on the management to sell some of the club’s top stars.

 

Moreover, the Serie A giants consider Yildiz to be the face of the new project, hence why they entrusted him with the iconic Number 10 jersey once donned by the likes of Michel Platini, Roberto Baggio and Alessandro Del Piero. ............

 

Yildiz produced a sensational goal against the Grifone which was worth all three points, so we can expect the new manager to continue to utilize him as an attacking midfielder with a license to roam all over the pitch.

Marchisio sees difference for star striker under Tudor

 

 

Juventus icon Claudio Marchisio has highlighted one particular player whose role has notably evolved since Igor Tudor assumed managerial duties at the club. Tudor was appointed as the Bianconeri head coach during the recent international break, and he marked his debut with a victory over Genoa. ............

 

Several individuals in the squad have underperformed throughout the season, but Tudor appears to be making incremental improvements, with some players already benefiting from his new approach. One such individual is promising young talent Kenan Yildiz. ............

 

When asked what has impressed him most during Tudor’s early tenure, Claudio Marchisio pointed to Yildiz’s evolving role within the team. He explained: “The situations Yildiz found himself in. He also did well with Thiago Motta, but he had tasks across the board, with a lot of sacrifice to distribute in defence.”

 

Marchisio went on to add: “Talents like that, of course, have to enter into both phases and mechanisms of the team. But freedom up front helps to stay clear-headed up front. And to score goals.” ............

 

Tudor’s strategy appears to involve giving the young attacker more positional freedom in the final third, allowing him to operate with greater clarity and decisiveness. ............

Juventus ready to reject lucrative EPL offers for Kenan Yildiz on one condition

 

 

Juventus are reportedly willing to resist hefty offers for Kenan Yildiz in the summer, although this could depend on one key factor. ............

 

Igor Tudor immediately restored his status as an automatic starter, placing him in a more central role behind the striker. The teenager responded by scoring two brilliant goals in his three outings under the Croatian. ............

 

Juventus are now keen to maintain Yildiz amongst their ranks, even though they expect to receive lucrative offers from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City. ............

 

Champions League qualification as an elemental factor in this particular case.

 

In other words, reaching Europe’s elite club competition would unlock major economic rewards for the club, which, in essence, would allow them to resist the temptation to cash in on the coveted wonderkid.

 

On the other hand, missing out on the Champions League would leave them in a vulnerable place from a financial standpoint, thus opening the door for the departure of the Turkiye international, as well as other prized assets. ............

Bayern Munich is eyeing a surprise move for Juventus youngster

 

 

Bayern Munich appear to be ruing its decision to let Kenan Yildiz leave in 2022, as the young Turkish international continues to flourish at Juventus.

 

Yildiz’s meteoric rise in Turin has seen him go from a promising youth talent to a regular in the Juventus first team in little more than a year. At just 19 years old, he has already established himself as one of the most exciting young players in European football, showcasing not only technical brilliance but also maturity well beyond his age. ............

 

Unsurprisingly, Bayern Munich are now looking to bring him back. The Bavarians are monitoring the situation closely and could make a formal offer to Juventus in the summer. They now believe there is space for him in their first-team squad—something they were unable or unwilling to guarantee two years ago. ............

 

Juventus must do everything possible to protect him, reward his growth, and continue to make Turin a place where he feels valued and central to their project. As Bayern have already learned the hard way, letting a player like Yildiz slip away is a mistake no top club should make twice.

Kenan Yildiz picks up knock in training, could be doubt to face Parma

 

 

One of the brightest of bright spots in the two wins since Igor Tudor took over as manager at Juventus has been the play of Turkish starlet Kenan Yildiz. The soon-to-be 20-year-old has scored what proved to be both of the game-winning goals in said victories, with his overall performance level much higher than what we saw in the final weeks of the Thiago Motta era. ............

 

According to multiple reports out of Italy on Wednesday, Yildiz could be in doubt for Monday’s trip to the Tardini to face Parma the day after Easter. That is as a result of a knock he picked up in training earlier in the day. But where it gets tricky is the reporting after that, with someone describing it as a “contusive trauma” to the right thigh and is suddenly a doubt to face Parma, while someone else has a little bit different of an update about Yildiz’s status for Monday’s game, saying he has a good chance of playing and that the injury is very much a minor one.

 

Either way, the next couple of days and into the weekend will be telling as to whether or not Juventus will have their No. 10 available when they face a relegation-threatened side for the second consecutive matchday. ............

 

But the big development is that Yildiz may or may not be a doubt to face Parma.

 

Could Juventus beat Parma without Yildiz in the lineup? Yeah, probably. But the simple fact that he has started out life under Tudor quite well means you just want to see it continue because that just increases Juventus’ chances of finishing in the top four and making the Champions League next season. ............

Trevisani bewitched by Juventus star: “Ballon d’Or list in two years”

 

 

Italian journalist Riccardo Trevisani has been delighted by the performances of Juventus teenager Kenan Yildiz.

 

The club granted the Turk the Number 10 jersey at the start of the season after penning a new and improved contract, thus anointing him as the rightful heir to his idol, Alessandro Del Piero. ............

 

These vivid performances came as a timely reminder of the teenager’s elusive skillset. For his part, Trevisani believes Yildiz has all the attributes of a world-class player, backing him to break into the Ballon d’Or shortlist in a couple of years.

 

“He is the true light of this team, despite the fact that he still has to grow,” declared Trevisani during his appearance.

 

“He is not a small player. For me, he will end up in the 30-man shortlist of the Ballon d’Or within two years. He is a great player for me.” ............

“I would never sell him” Journalist urges Juventus not to sell top youngster

 

 

In modern football, every player has a price, and clubs are often willing to part ways with even their brightest talents if the right offer arrives. Juventus are no exception to this trend, and the Bianconeri are expected to offload a few players at the end of the current campaign.

 

While some members of the current squad are considered indispensable, others are seen as surplus to requirements, and decisions will need to be made in the coming weeks. However, one player who should not be placed on the transfer list under any circumstances is Kenan Yildiz. ............

 

Yildiz has not yet fully delivered on that promise, which is understandable given his age and limited experience at the top level. What he requires now is the guidance of a manager who can help him grow and realise his full potential. Juventus must trust Igor Tudor to nurture his talent and provide him with the platform to succeed.

 

Italian journalist Ivan Zazzaroni believes strongly that Juventus should keep faith in Yildiz. He said:

 

“The most central position is perfect for him. If you gave him the 10, I would never sell him, it is a technical investment and not only that. Giving Juventus’ 10 to a 19-year-old boy, a player who in my opinion has not yet had the impact he should but has some numbers, but if you sell him in his first year as a real starter, Juventus does not have great players to sell if they need money, that is the problem.” ............

Yildiz sends social message to Juventus fans after silly red card

 

 

Juventus talent Kenan Yildiz once again apologised to Juventus fans, this time on social media, after receiving a red card against Monza: ‘It was a gesture that went beyond my real intentions.’

 

The Turkish talent risks a two-game ban after receiving a straight red card in a Serie A match against Monza on Sunday. ............

 

Yildiz had already apologised to Juventus fans on the pitch on Sunday, but he sent a new message to Bianconeri supporters via Instagram on Monday afternoon.

 

If the Sports Judge confirms a two-match ban for the 19-year-old, Juventus will be forced to cope without him in key away matches against Bologna and Lazio, two of their main rivals for a top-four finish. ............

Buffon says Yildiz’s red card will be good for his development

 

 

Kenan Yildiz was shown a red card during Juventus’ victory over Monza, an incident that Gigi Buffon believes could ultimately benefit the young attacker in the long term. Yildiz has emerged as one of the key figures at Juventus, with the club placing significant trust in his potential to enjoy a lengthy and successful career in their colours. ............

 

 

Buffon, who watched the match, offered his perspective on the red card, drawing from his extensive experience in the sport. He believes that such moments are part of a young player’s development and can be formative if approached with the right mindset. Buffon stated, “An instinctive gesture, wrong, but not bad: it’s part of the growth process for a boy who is not yet twenty. It will do him good, he understood that he had gone too far already by leaving the field: now, however, let’s not throw the cross on him, no trials or moralisms. He apologised in a second.” ............

Kenan Yildiz will miss two key Juventus games following red card

 

 

Kenan Yildiz has been suspended for two matches after receiving a red card for violent conduct during Juventus’ recent game against Monza. The 19-year-old, who has been one of the club’s brightest young talents this season, let his frustration get the better of him when he elbowed Alessandro Bianco in an off-the-ball incident. The referee showed no hesitation in issuing a straight red card, leaving Yildiz to face immediate criticism and disappointment. ............

 

Yildiz has been handed a two-game suspension and fined €10,000.

 

This suspension comes at a critical juncture for Juventus, who are locked in a fierce battle to secure a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. The club’s upcoming fixtures against Bologna and Lazio are crucial in determining whether they can maintain their position in the league. Unfortunately, Yildiz’s absence will deprive the team of a key attacking option during these pivotal encounters.

 

At just 19, it is expected that Yildiz will have moments of immaturity as he navigates the pressures of professional football at the highest level. Such mistakes, while regrettable, are often part of the learning curve for young players. Juventus will need to manage this situation carefully, ensuring that Yildiz learns from his error while continuing to nurture his development. The club has shown faith in him throughout the season, and despite this setback, he remains one of their most promising assets. ............

Should Juventus appeal Kenan Yildiz’s Serie A ban?

 

 

Kenan Yildiz has been handed a two-match suspension and fined by a sports judge following a red card he received during Juventus’s fixture against Monza. In what has been described as a moment of recklessness, the young player reacted aggressively towards a Monza opponent, leading to his immediate dismissal from the game. ............

 

Although the option to appeal the decision remains available, many supporters believe it could be worth exploring in hopes of reducing the number of matches Yildiz will miss. However the club does not intend to contest the ruling and will therefore prepare for their next two matches without the young talent in their plans. ............

 

Yildiz has been one of our most important players, but we are a top team that shouldn’t rely on just one player, so it’s time for us to prove our worth. We have to demonstrate that we have what it takes to win games, no matter which player misses our match. ............

Locatelli insists Yildiz will learn from his mistake and should not be crucified

 

 

Manuel Locatelli has addressed the recent sending off of Kenan Yildiz during Juventus’ match against Monza, expressing confidence that the young player will learn and grow from the experience. Yildiz, who has become an important figure in the Bianconeri’s first team despite being just 19 years old, was dismissed for behaviour deemed inappropriate, an error that more seasoned professionals are generally expected to avoid. ............

 

Locatelli, a prominent figure in the Juventus dressing room, has taken a proactive role in mentoring the teenager. The midfielder emphasised the importance of learning from such setbacks, stating, “I spoke to him. He is aware that he made a fairly serious mistake in terms of his behaviour, and it is something that must not happen, but I am sure that it will not happen again. He understood the mistake, but we must not crucify him, there will be others who will replace him. He is a good boy, he will be the future of Juventus.” ............

 

There is little concern within the Juventus camp about Yildiz’s future. On the contrary, this incident is viewed as part of the natural learning curve for a young player in top-flight football. ............
