[Saba Sports News] According to Italian media, Kenan Yildiz’s salary could increase annually to 6 million euros after his contract extension. Juventus values him at over 100 million euros. While not spectacular, Yildiz has generally handled the first full season wearing the No. 10 jersey for Juventus. This was his first complete season in the Serie A and UEFA Champions League, and he also performed well in the Club World Cup. A year ago, when Yildiz was just promoted from the youth team, he signed a contract with an annual salary of 1.5 million euros, which was not low for his experience at the time. This contract was both an incentive for Yildiz and a way to keep him, while granting him the symbolic No. 10 shirt. Now, Yildiz has proven himself with his performance, especially his standout display in the Club World Cup. Therefore, Juventus is set to offer him a significant salary increase: his salary will more than double, and with bonuses, his total income is expected to reach around 4 million euros per year, with a fixed salary of 3.5 million euros. Additionally, his salary will increase each year as the contract duration progresses. Eventually, the contract will reach the current salary cap at Juventus, which is approximately 6 million euros.
