Kenan Yıldız, the attacking midfielder of the Italian club "Juventus" and a member of the Turkish national team, has become the team's main goal weapon with his performance this season and has attracted attention in Serie A by reaching 20 goals faster than even Del Piero.
Idman.Biz reports that 19-year-old Yıldız took on greater responsibility after Dusan Vlahovic's injury and stated that he felt a strong emotional connection with the team.
However, uncertainties remain in the new contract negotiations with the club. Kenan Yıldız wants an annual salary of 6-7 million euros (11.2–13.1 million AZN), while "Juventus" currently offers slightly less than 5 million euros (9.3 million AZN). Although this figure is much higher than his current salary of 1.7 million euros (3.1 million AZN), it is not considered fully consistent with the player's rising status.
Sources say that both the club and the player consider the agreement a priority, as Europe's giant clubs are already seriously monitoring Yıldız.
"Arsenal" has increased its interest in Kenan and likes the striker's playing style. At "Real Madrid", head coach Xabi Alonso recommended the player to the club management. Alonso thinks that Kenan Yıldız will get along better with Arda Güler in the central position and they will be able to provide better support to the attack.
