The renewal of Kenan Yildiz’s contract has injected fresh optimism into the Juventus camp, reigniting belief inside a club determined to reclaim its historic dominance in Italian football.
The Bianconeri have always been synonymous with winning mentality and consistency in Serie A, and securing one of their brightest young talents is being viewed as a key step toward rebuilding that identity.

Head coach Luciano Spalletti echoed this sentiment during his recent press conference, stressing the importance of strengthening the squad with players who possess strong personality and elite-level quality.
In essence, Juventus are looking for footballers who truly fit the traditional profile of a “Juventus player” — technically gifted, mentally strong, and capable of handling pressure on the biggest stages.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the club’s management sees Yildiz’s renewal as just the beginning of a larger project aimed at raising the competitive level of the squad. The message is clear: Juventus are no longer satisfied with simply competing — they want to dominate again.
Bernardo Silva Becomes Juventus’ Next Major Objective
Following the Yildiz extension, Juventus executives — led by Comolli and his collaborators — are already preparing their next major move in the transfer market.

The primary target is Bernardo Silva, who is expected to become one of the most high-profile free agents available in the upcoming summer window.
The Portuguese playmaker, born in 1994, is set to leave Manchester City after nine successful seasons. Despite growing interest from several European giants, Silva has postponed any final decision about his future until after March.
Juventus have already opened preliminary talks with his representatives and are hoping to convince the Lisbon-born star to join the project in Turin.
Silva’s technical ability, tactical intelligence, and experience at the highest level perfectly match the type of player Juventus are currently seeking.
His arrival would not only add creativity to the midfield but also bring leadership and winning mentality developed during his time under Pep Guardiola.
Contract Renewals Also Key to Juventus Stability
At the same time, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are working internally to secure continuity. The club is aiming to extend the contracts of both Weston McKennie and coach Luciano Spalletti, with both deals entering their final five months.

Spalletti addressed the topic calmly during his latest media appearance, emphasizing patience and performance over pressure. The Certaldo-born coach suggested that contract discussions should happen naturally, once results on the pitch justify long-term commitments.
He even referenced Yildiz’s example, highlighting how performances ultimately earn trust and new deals. For Juventus, this balanced approach reflects a broader strategy: secure core talents, target world-class opportunities like Bernardo Silva, and build a squad capable of returning the club to both domestic and European prominence.
The coming months could therefore prove decisive in shaping the next era of the Bianconeri project.
