Juventus have one young Turkish standout in Kenan Yıldız, flourishing under manager Thiago Motta this 2024-25 season. Could they look to secure another one once the January transfer window opens?
Yıldız is a key figure in Juventus' attack and a cornerstone for their future, reflected in his contract running until 2029. Selling such an important player, who is still unlocking his potential, is not an option for the Serie A club.
The 19-year-old has already made 21 appearances across all competitions this season, contributing four goals and four assists.
While he’s versatile across the attack, the Turkey international has settled into the left wing role, where he’s expected to remain a fixture for Juventus despite interest from other top European clubs.
Juventus eye another Turkish youngster
Carlo Ancelotti has yet to give Arda Güler the consistent playing time he’s hoping for. So far, the Turkish midfielder has started just five La Liga matches and one in the Champions League.
Tutto Juve reports that this secondary role is causing some discomfort for the player; several clubs have already reached out to his representatives. The latest team to show interest is Juventus, who are keen to take him on loan in January.
While Real Madrid is monitoring the situation with concern, they’re not open to letting the young player leave midway through the season.
At the Santiago Bernabeu, they believe it’s only a matter of time before Güler starts proves himself, so there’s no reason to consider loaning him to Juventus or any other club. Furthermore, it would have been the player’s entourage that suggested him to the Bianconeri.
