Juventus are close to a long-term extension with Kenan Yildiz through 2030, reportedly including a significant pay rise. For bettors this suggests Juventus' attacking stability — consider shorter match odds for Juve and player-prop bets backing Yildiz for goals or assists in upcoming Serie A fixtures if the deal is confirmed.
Juventus near long-term deal to secure Kenan Yildiz
Juventus are reportedly finalizing a contract extension that would tie Kenan Yildiz to the club through 2030. The new agreement is said to include a substantial pay increase that would elevate Yildiz into the group of Juve’s highest earners once Dusan Vlahovic’s salary is removed from the books in summer 2026.
Contract evolution and key figures
This would be the third consecutive extension for Yildiz after deals previously taking him to 2027 and 2029. The player’s representatives — including his father and super-agent Jorge Mendes — are understood to be negotiating the final terms with club management. Sources indicate the paperwork could be completed as early as this week, with the club eager to publish an official announcement and stage a presentation.
Sporting context: why Juventus want to move fast
With the winter transfer window closed, Juventus prioritized locking down their brightest young talent to ensure squad continuity. Yildiz has emerged as one of the club’s standout performers during the 2025–26 season, and a long-term deal would signal he is a cornerstone of Juventus’ attacking plans going forward.
Financial implications and squad hierarchy
The reported salary bump would put Yildiz alongside established names such as Gleison Bremer and Jonathan David in the club’s top earners bracket. The upgrade reflects both his on-field importance and Juventus’ commitment to retaining him amid increased market attention.
Betting and market impact
Confirmation of a long-term deal would likely shorten Juventus’ odds in upcoming matches by signaling attacking stability.
For punters, relevant market moves to monitor:
- Match odds: Juventus may become a slightly safer pick in Serie A fixtures.
- Player props: Yildiz anytime scorer or anytime assist markets could see attention and price movement.
- Season markets: Consider Yildiz for goalscorer markets or shots-on-target props if his role remains prominent.
Tip for bettors
Wait for the official announcement before placing long-term bets. Short-term player-prop bets (next match anytime scorer/assist) may offer value immediately after confirmation if markets underreact to the news.
Timeline and what to watch next
Club sources say final details are under discussion and an announcement could arrive within days. Watch official Juventus channels for confirmation and the club presentation, which will likely follow quickly after signatures are exchanged.
