Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti has celebrated Kenan Yildiz’s new contract through 2030 and confirmed the attacker is fit for Sunday’s clash with Lazio, even as the manager’s own future remains secondary to club results.
Juventus have secured the long-term future of breakout star Kenan Yildiz, with the 20-year-old signing a contract extension until June 2030.
Manager Luciano Spalletti described the renewal as a landmark moment for the Bianconeri project, emphasizing the Turkish forward’s growing influence.
In a boost for the squad, Spalletti confirmed Yildiz has recovered from recent muscle fatigue and is available for Sunday’s high-stakes encounter against Lazio.
“We all dressed like this because it’s an important day for Juventus’ future,” Spalletti joked during his press conference.
Addressing his own expiring contract, the veteran tactician insisted that evaluations can wait, stating: “When I’m able to prove it the way Kenan has, then it could become possible.”
While Yildiz returns, the club remains cautious regarding Francisco Conceicao and Lloyd Kelly, who face late fitness tests.
