Kenan Yildiz is continuing with Juventus, signing a contract with the Club until 2030. On the day of his renewal, he joined CEO Damien Comolli and Coach Luciano Spalletti for a press conference.
Here is what was said:
DAMIEN COMOLLI
“We’re delighted to announce Kenan’s renewal until 2030. He is a true champion and, as his name suggests, a star. He is a real talent, but he also has the qualities of a leader, who knows how to put himself at the disposal of the team. He’s a young player, raised with great values, which are the same as those of the Juventus family. I thank Kenan for choosing to stay with us. We have big ambitions, we want to take Juventus back to where this Club deserves to be, and we want to make our fans proud of the Juventus we’re building. This renewal is an important step to building that team, but it’s not the only one.”
KENAN YILDIZ
“I thank John Elkann, Damien Comolli and the whole Club, as well as the coach, my teammates and the fans. I’m very happy to renew here, as this Club is a family to me. I’m sure we’ll do great things together. I love Juventus. I’m sure that I will always have the fans and my family behind me. Thank you, and fino alla fine.”
LUCIANO SPALLETTI
“It’s an important day for the future of the Club. Yildiz’s renewal is important for showing the Club’s intentions. It’s great to think about having him here for the long-term. His leadership gives strength to the team, he influences his teammates and makes everybody stronger. He’s a great, bubbly guy who knows how to understand those around him, and that’s a great trait to have. He’s really special.”
