Juventus have extended youngster Kenan Yildiz’s contract to 2030 with a major salary boost, while the club targets renewals for Weston McKennie and Filip Kostic. Dusan Vlahovic appears unlikely to sign on, creating forward uncertainty. Betting tip: squad stability from multiple renewals strengthens Juventus’ short-term win and top-four chances, but Vlahovic doubts make his anytime-scorer markets risky — prefer match-by-match Juventus selections over long-term reliance on Vlahovic goals.
Kenan Yildiz signs new deal with Juventus
Juventus have confirmed Kenan Yildiz has signed a contract extension running until the summer of 2030. The move rewards the young forward with a significant pay rise from a reported €1.7m to around €6m per year, with an eventual increase to €7m. The new terms underline Juventus’ commitment to securing emerging talent and protecting Yildiz’s future value at the club.
Priority renewals: who’s next on Juventus’ list?
Weston McKennie — contract into 2026, talks expected
Weston McKennie’s deal currently runs until the end of the 2025–26 season. Club and player are understood to be aligned on continuing the relationship, with negotiations or meetings likely to follow to secure his medium-term future at Juventus.
Filip Kostic — experience the manager trusts
Filip Kostic is another player whose contract expires at the end of the season. His experience and the manager’s faith in him make Kostic a candidate for renewal as Juventus look to maintain wing options and set-piece quality.
Dusan Vlahovic — the big question
Dusan Vlahovic is the most notable name with a contract due to expire this summer, and current indications suggest an extension is unlikely. That uncertainty over the club’s leading striker could prompt transfer speculation and influence Juventus’ planning for the attacking department.
Pierre Kalulu, Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram — tactical and financial considerations
Defender Pierre Kalulu, earning a relatively modest salary compared to squad stars, is already tied to the club for several seasons but may still be considered for improved terms. Manuel Locatelli (contract to 2028) and Khephren Thuram (contract to 2029, around €2m per season) are also on the radar for potential adjustments as Juventus balance squad stability with wage structure.
Luciano Spalletti — coaching future to be decided after season
Juventus could also discuss a new deal for head coach Luciano Spalletti, but any definitive decision is expected only after the conclusion of the 2025–26 campaign, when the club will assess performance and objectives.
What this means on the market and for punters
Stability from multiple contract renewals would strengthen Juventus’ short-term prospects, making them a more attractive pick for match winners and accumulation markets in upcoming fixtures.
Conversely, confirmed uncertainty around Dusan Vlahovic would make anytime-scorer and season-goals markets involving him more volatile; bettors should weigh alternatives such as Kostic, Yildiz or midfield contributors for goals/assists.
For longer-term bets (season top scorer, major transfers), monitor official outcome of Vlahovic talks before staking large sums.
