Kenan Yildiz’s salary and contract: here’s how much he earns and the market value of the young Turkish player who wears the number 10 shirt for Juventus.
How much does Kenan Yildiz earn? It was already well known that the Juventus starlet was a budding champion, but from the 2025 Club World Cup onward, the talent of the young German - a naturalized Turkish national - is literally exploding.
Kenan Yildiz, despite his young age (born in 2005), has shown he’s not afraid of pressure when he decided to wear the number 10 shirt, a shirt worn at Juventus by stars like Michael Platini, Roberto Baggio, and Alessandro Del Piero.
Even though the last few seasons haven’t been thrilling for the Bianconeri, Yildiz has been one of the few bright spots, establishing himself as a mainstay of the Turkish national team. It’s no coincidence that the Old Lady decided to secure their star in February 2026 by extending his contract (from 2029 to 2030) and significantly raising his salary.
Kenan Yildiz’s market value has skyrocketed over the past two years, with Juventus developing the prized talent, who arrived on a free transfer from Bayern Munich in 2022.
How much does Kenan Yildiz earn? His salary at Juventus
When Kenan Yildiz arrived in Turin as a free agent after coming through the youth ranks at Bayern Munich, the Turk was added to the Juventus Next Gen.
According to online reports, the boy’s first salary with the Bianconeri was 100,000 euros, but in 2023 he signed his first contract extension until 2027, tripling his salary to 300,000 euros per season.
After becoming a permanent fixture in the first team, Yildiz signed a second contract renewal with Juventus in June 2024, running until 2029. At the time, the figure was rumored to be between 1.5 and 1.7 million euros net per season - including bonuses - a figure that quickly became "low" given the player’s caliber and the prices being heard around.
And so today the Bianconeri have decided to secure him, also to discourage attacks from abroad (especially from La Liga and the Premier League).
The contract has increased from 1.7 to 6 million euros net per season, with the contract set to be further adjusted to 7 million net at the start of the 2026/2027 season. Furthermore, a €6 million loyalty bonus is also included.
In short, the Turk will gradually earn the same amount as Jonathan David, with Vlahovic the only player in the squad earning more. The Serbian, however, will see his contract expire next June.
Kenan Yildiz’s Market Value
Kenan Yildiz is considered one of the brightest talents in Europe: a mix of superb technique, youth records, a prestigious role, awards, important goals, and international attention. All this, combined with evolving transfer market dynamics, makes his profile a hot topic among fans, media, and industry insiders.
According to the specialized website Transfermarkt, Yildiz’s current market value is €75 million, up a good €25 million from June 2025.
The site also lists Kenan Yildiz as the most valuable player in the Juventus squad. Given his young age and his constantly improving performances, the feeling is that the boy’s value is destined to increase further in the future; music to the ears of Juve, who managed to secure this young star without shelling out a single euro (for a transfer fee, of course).
