With the winter transfer window now closed, Juventus have shifted their attention to securing the future of three key figures: Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie, and coach Luciano Spalletti. Tuttosport (as quoted by IlBianconero) report that the club’s directors want to finalize these contract negotiations soon to maintain stability and avoid complications later in the season.
Yildiz Ready to Sign
The renewal of Kenan Yildiz appears all but done. According to reports, only the official signature is missing, as an agreement has already been reached on salary terms. The Turkish forward is expected to earn around six million euros per season, putting him on the same level as Jonathan David. With Dusan Vlahovic likely departing in the summer, Yildiz is set to become one of Juventus’s highest-paid players for next season.
McKennie Negotiations Underway
The situation surrounding Weston McKennie is more delicate. His impressive recent performances have made him a top priority for the club — but also a target for several top teams across Europe. Juventus plan to reopen talks with his representatives next week to rebuild dialogue and propose a new long-term deal through 2028. The midfielder currently earns 2.5 million euros per year, but the club is prepared to offer him a contract reflecting his growing importance, closer to the salaries of the team’s stars. Still, negotiations will need a decisive push to reach an agreement soon.
Spalletti’s Future on the Agenda
As for Luciano Spalletti, there is less immediate pressure, though Juventus intend to discuss an extension by spring. The Italian coach enjoys full support within the club, and both sides appear on the same page about continuing the project. While the club technically holds an option to renew his contract automatically if the team qualifies for the next Champions League, Juventus would prefer to reach a mutual agreement that reflects shared ambition rather than rely on formal clauses.
In Turin, planning for the future has already begun — and securing Yildiz, McKennie, and Spalletti could be the first major step.
