Kenan Yildiz will play for Juventus in the coming years. Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reports this on Saturday morning. The 17-year-old midfielder comes transfer-free from Bayern Munich. In Germany Yildiz has been known for several years as a great talent. By attracting the youth international of Turkey, Juventus trumps Barcelona, among others. Yildiz signs a contract in Turin until mid-2025.
Bayern were very disappointed with Yildiz’s financial wishes. From a sporting point of view, the club would have liked to keep him in Munich. “Kenan is a young and talented player who we would have liked to have helped in his further development. Unfortunately, it was not realistic to meet his financial demands. That’s why we decided it’s better to let him go,” said technical director Hasan Salihamidzic. Yildiz was born in Regensburg, Germany, and played for ten years as a youth for Bayern.
Nevertheless, Bayern seems to be in good shape for Yildiz’s position in the coming years. Thomas Müller is still doing his thing and youngster Jamal Musiala showed great things last season. Musiala will only turn twenty in February and will have to take over from Müller in the coming years. The crown jewel of Bayern is still fixed until mid-2026. He will not suffer from a competition with Yildiz in the coming years.
Yildiz initially joins Juventus in the youth, but it is expected that he will soon make the switch to the main force. The talent has been well known internationally for years. Last season, Yildiz made three appearances in the Youth League with Bayern Under 19s. The Turk’s development shot up as he grew. Yildiz is now a tall and strong attacking midfielder who makes many meters and can often be found in front of the goal.
