Kenan Yildiz, Juventus’ 19-year-old sensation, has captured the attention of football enthusiasts worldwide with his remarkable performance against Manchester City in the Champions League. The young Turkish international displayed the class of a number 10 and the carefree spirit typical of his age, earning praise from football legends like Paul Scholes.
Juventus’ decision to invest heavily in Yildiz is paying dividends. Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and manager Thiago Motta shared enthusiasm for the class of 2005 talent from the beginning. The club made the bold move of selling Federico Chiesa to make room for Yildiz, a decision that is now proving fruitful.
Yildiz has shown his ability to shine in crucial moments, from his brace against Inter Milan at San Siro to his fantastic display against Manchester City. These performances have solidified Juventus’ valuation of the player at around €70-80 million.
Calciomercato [**report**](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/yildiz-incanta-in-champions-league-laston-villa-e-pronto-a-fare--29075) that Interest in Yildiz is growing among top clubs. Liverpool was the first to inquire about him, though no concrete offers have been made. According to reports, Aston Villa is prepared to make a significant bid for the former Bayern Munich youth player.
However, Juventus are not keen on selling their rising star. The club recently extended Yildiz’s contract until 2029, signaling their long-term commitment to the player. Juventus is resisting the temptation of Premier League money, hoping to enjoy many more nights like the recent one at the Allianz Stadium with Yildiz in their ranks.
