Despite reaching the round of 16 of the Club World Cup, Juventus has a lot to resolve regarding its financial situation this summer. The club also managed to qualify for the next Champions League, but its squad, currently valued at €651M, needs to suffer at least a couple of important losses to balance the books.
In addition to Dusan Vlahovic, one of those singled out to cash in on the 2025 summer market is none other than Kenan Yildiz. The Turk already has 16 goals and 10 assists in 84 official matches with the first team, after a season in the 'bianconeri' youth academy (the 22/23).
The German-born player spent a decade in Bayern Munich's youth ranks and is now the great figure of Juventus. For FC Barcelona, the '10' could be an interesting alternative for the left wing, as Yildiz is an attacking midfielder with a lot of mobility and overflow all over the front of the area. In 24/25, he scored 12 goals and 9 assists in 52 matches.
What is Kenan Yildiz's release price at Juventus?
In principle, Juve could let the Turkish 'jewel' go for a price close to 60 million euros. Yildiz is listed at around 50 'kilos' on Transfermarkt and, considering that his contract ends in 2029 and his release clause is around 80M, signing him for 60 million would be a reasonable price.
Especially in a market where teams like Manchester City or Chelsea often pay much higher amounts. The 'sky blue' team has already invested 130 'kilos' in reinforcements this summer, while the Londoners are already at 243M of investment. A real madness.
The Premier League, in fact, sounded like a possible destination for the 'Vecchia signora' star months ago. Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa were in the 'race' for the player from Regensburg, with the 'villain' team being the only one that keeps the 20-year-old player on its radar. Unai Emery still dreams of recovering Marcus Rashford, but Yildiz could be a very interesting 'plan B' for the Birmingham team.
Barça, meanwhile, is also keeping an eye on the Manchester United striker, as long as the 'red devils' agree to negotiate a loan. In the case of the Juventus '10', his signing would be a very risky bet that, for the moment, is not in the plans of the board. The 'culés' prioritize going for a winger with much more experience, with Luis Díaz, for now, being the first option.
Yildiz, the best news from Juventus at the Club World Cup
For Juventus, finding offers for Kenan Yildiz does not seem like a complicated mission this summer. The 20-year-old player completed an excellent Club World Cup in the United States, scoring 3 goals and 1 assist in 4 matches.
Although he could do little to avoid the 'bianconeri' elimination against Real Madrid (1-0), the Ottoman player confirmed the good sensations he left the previous campaign.
Very sharp on the left, skilled in individual duels and with a remarkable shot and vision of the game. Yildiz scored a goal against Al Ain (0-5) and a double against Wydad (4-1). In addition, he gave an assist against City (2-5).
Now, the player from Regensburg will enjoy three weeks of vacation before returning to work with Juve, while waiting for the resolution of his future. The Italians do not intend, far from it, to give him away, but they will accept an affordable amount for him and Vlahovic, with the Serbian being a fixed discard for 25/26.
