Kenan Yildiz is closing in on a new deal with Juventus and is set to inherit the club’s iconic number 10 shirt.
The Bianconeri regard him as their most prized young talent, and he is expected to play a significant role in Thiago Motta’s team this season.
The Turkish youngster is already among the highest-paid teenagers at the club, but Juventus plans to more than double his current salary as part of his new contract.
While much of the attention has been on his potential to wear the prestigious number 10 shirt, many are curious about how much he will earn when he commits his long-term future to the club.
Yildiz currently earns around €300,000 per season, but according to a report from Calciomercato, his new deal will see his salary rise to €1 million per season.
This figure represents his fixed salary, with additional bonuses expected to further boost his earnings each year.
Juve FC Says
Yildiz has been one of our biggest youngsters, and we are excited about the prospect of watching him play under Thiago Motta.
This new deal clearly shows confidence in his abilities, and we trust him to deliver in our new system.

Tottenham eyeing shock move for £60m rated Manchester United star; Red Devils are willing to sell
Manchester Utd star Kobbie Mainoo has a decision to make in the coming days amidst Tottenham Hotspur interest Tottenham are still looking to enhance their midfield if time remains in the transfer window. With only eleven days remaining for the Lilywhites to seal a deal for a new midfielder, it looks unlikely that Daniel Levy will be able to sign a quality player quickly. We have to also consider other factors that come into play, as the North London club are prioritising signing a #10 and a left-winger right now. However, there is still a chance that Spurs might move for a new midfielder after all if Yves Bissouma decides to head for the exit doors. The Mali international has fallen out of favour at N17 under Thomas Frank following a string of disciplinary issues. It was also reported earlier this week that the Spurs No.8 has been offered to two Premier League clubs as Tottenham look to cash in on him. If Bissouma leaves N17, then Thomas Frank will surely need a new #6 that could dictate the game from the middle of the park. The Danish tactician relies heavily on his midfielders for breaking-up opposition play, as well as, during build-up. The ex-Brentford manager’s system allows the midfielders to drop deep to receive the ball and look for a forward option whenever possible. Tottenham eyeing a possible deal for Man Utd star Kobbie Mainoo Tottenham are left short in manpower in the middle of the park following James Maddison’s ACL injury. The England international is going to be out for most parts of the season, forcing the Lilywhites to be in the market to sign a new midfielder. However, this might just allow the North London club to look for opportunities that would not have been possible before. As per GiveMeSport, Spurs are keeping close tabs on Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo’s situation’s at M16. The England international is seemingly out of Ruben Amorim’s plans as of now, and the Red Devils are open to sanction a sale if the right offer comes in for the 20-year-old’s signature. The aforementioned report also states that Manchester United value the midfielder at around £60m, and would only consider offers that match the valuation. Also, the England international is an academy product, so the Red Devils are willing to let him leave for PSR reasons as well. Selling the highly-rated player will mean that the club earns a pure-profit, as well as, stay on the right side of the PSR. Considering how bleak the midfield is looking for Spurs right now, Daniel Levy should do everything to land Kobbie Mainoo. The 20-year-old is one of the best talents in the country, and has the potential to become a superstar in the future. Not only that, but his ball-playing ability, as well as, his amazing passing range is another reason why the North London club should consider signing him.
Craig Kimbrel lands with World Series contender after latest release
Craig Kimbrel is hoping to make an impact with an MLB team down the stretch, and a World Series contender is giving the former All-Star reliever a shot. Kimbrel agreed to a big-league contract with the Houston Astros on Thursday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. Kimbrel began the 2025 season with the Atlanta Braves after signing a minor-league contract with them in March. The right-hander started out with the Double-A Columbus Clingstones and did not give up a hit in three appearances. Kimbrel was then promoted to the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers, where he went 1-1 with a 2.00 ERA and 23 strikeouts over 18 innings. The Braves added Kimbrel to their active roster on June 6. He pitched a scoreless seventh inning in Atlanta's 5-4 win over the San Francisco Giants that day. Kimbrel allowed a walk and a hit in the inning. The following day, Atlanta made the puzzling decision to designate Kimbrel for assignment. Kimbrel opted for free agency rather than accepting his minor league assignment. He then signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers but never made it to their MLB roster. Kimbrel was granted his release on Thursday and signed with Houston. Kimbrel, 37, is a nine-time All-Star who has pitched for eight different teams during his MLB career. He led the National League in saves four times and was one of the best relief pitchers in the league during his prime. Kimbrel also helped the Boston Red Sox win a World Series in 2018. The Astros were 69-58 entering Thursday and had a 1.5-game lead over the Seattle Mariners in the AL West. If Kimbrel is healthy, he could provide Houston with some valuable bullpen depth over the final stretch of the season.
Bill Belichick takes another shot at Patriots owner Robert Kraft
It is no secret that the relationship between Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft has been strained since Belichick left the New England Patriots. Belichick took an obvious shot at Kraft and the Patriots owner's son, Jonathan, who is the president of the team, during an interview with Ben Volin of the Boston Globe that was published on Thursday. Belichick is preparing for his first-ever season as a college coach with North Carolina. When asked what he has noticed that is different about coaching in college versus the NFL, Belichick insinuated he has enjoyed not having to answer to any members of the Kraft family while doing his job in Chapel Hill. "It’s a much more cohesive, and I’d say unified, view of what we’re trying to do and how we’re trying to do it," Belichick told Volin. "It’s a lot of football, and there’s not much in your way. "There’s no owner, there’s no owner’s son. There’s no cap, everything that goes with the marketing and everything else, which I’m all for that. But it’s way less of what it was at that level." Shots fired. There is no way to interpret that other than a criticism of Robert and Jonathan Kraft. Had Belichick left it at not having to answer to a team owner, you could make the case that he was speaking generally about the NFL. The fact that he added in "owner's son" makes it obvious he was referring to his old bosses, as both Robert and Jonathan are hands-on with the Patriots. Belichick is almost certainly bitter over the way his tenure in New England ended following the 2023 season. He coached the Patriots for 24 seasons and won six Super Bowls, so he likely felt he should have been given more time to turn things around in the post-Tom Brady era. The Kraft family preferred to move on after a 4-13 campaign. Though Belichick insists he is solely focused on the upcoming UNC season, this is not the first time in recent months that he has gone out of his way to throw a jab at Robert Kraft.
Winnipeg Jets Strike Out: Top Remaining NHL Free Agent Joins Central Division Rival
The Jets and any other rival of the Avalanche lost out on Victor Olofsson, as the top remaining NHL free agent has just signed a one-year deal with Colorado. One of the best remaining unrestricted free agents is no longer available. The Colorado Avalanche signed forward Victor Olofsson to a one-year, $1.575 million contract through 2025-26, the team announced Wednesday. PuckPedia reported the agreement Tuesday night. Victor Olofsson entered free agency after a bounce-back season with the Vegas Golden Knights. After six seasons with the Buffalo Sabres, the team that drafted him in the seventh round in 2014, the Swedish winger signed a one-year, $1.075 million contract with Vegas this past summer. That followed a difficult 2023-24 campaign in Buffalo, where he posted just 15 points in 51 games. In Vegas, the 30-year-old regained some of his scoring touch. Although he was limited to 56 games due to injuries, he netted 15 goals and 14 assists for 29 points. Not quite the 40-point pace he was in his prime with the Sabres, but Olofsson proved he could be a reliable depth scorer for a playoff team. He registered four points in nine playoff games before the Golden Knights were eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers in the second round. Olofsson has 105 goals and 106 assists for 211 points in 370 NHL career games. Last spring was his first taste of playoff action. Olofsson could be the key for the Avalanche to win the Central Division Now, Olofsson becomes a part of a Colorado team that is seeking a return to Central Division supremacy after being defeated by the Dallas Stars in last season's semifinals. This could pose a problem for the Winnipeg Jets, as their direct rivals have just gotten better up front. With stars such as Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and the now-returning Gabriel Landeskog around him, he'll get the chance to find a significant role on a contender. For Olofsson, the Avalanche provides a clean slate and an opportunity to demonstrate that there is still much more to give. If all goes well, Colorado will be giving their Western Conference foes a real hard time in the upcoming season.
