Juventus insist Kenan Yildiz is not for sale, and that stance was one of the reasons he remained at the club at the end of last season. However, there is an understanding that every player can have a price.
The attacker is also committed to Juventus and wants to become one of the club’s idols by helping them return to winning major trophies. The Bianconeri are therefore delighted to have him in their squad.
Juventus know they will need to do plenty to keep Yildiz at the club for the long term, but for now, he remains focused on helping the team win matches.
However, clubs such as Arsenal and Real Madrid are expected to show interest again in the summer, meaning Juventus could face another battle to keep their star attacker.
Juventus prepare for Yildiz interest
The Bianconeri have worked to keep Yildiz happy by giving him a competitive salary and making him a central part of their plans. Those factors have helped ensure he feels valued at the club.
Nevertheless, no player is guaranteed to remain with one team forever. Juventus could therefore face difficult decisions if major offers arrive for the Turkiye international.
Yildiz’s importance to the team means the club would demand a substantial fee if they ever considered allowing him to leave. His potential and current status at Juventus have made him an attractive target for leading European clubs.

Yildiz could command 150m euros
Gianluca Di Marzio has now hinted at how much Yildiz could be sold for. He said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“If Juventus were to sell him it would certainly be triple-digit and triple-digit even of a certain level.Certainly not 110 or 120 million but something closer to EUR 150 million. So, if I had to say a name that will surely exceed 100 million euros for his possible departure is Yildiz of Juventus.”
Such a valuation would place Yildiz among the most expensive players in the market if Juventus ever decided to sell him.
For now, the Bianconeri remain determined to keep their attacker and continue building around him. Yildiz also wants to achieve something important with the club, making his immediate future in Turin clear.
However, the expected interest from Arsenal and Real Madrid means Juventus will need to remain prepared for approaches when the summer transfer window arrives.
