Kenan Yildiz is currently the most in-form player in the Juventus squad, which is a significant boost for the Bianconeri ahead of the new campaign. The Turkish international has emerged as a revitalised and commanding presence under the management of Igor Tudor, who has granted him a free role in attack.
Since being handed the iconic number 10 shirt at the Allianz Stadium, Yildiz has grown into a talismanic figure for the club. His development has been accelerated by his tactical freedom, and he has flourished with increased responsibility. Juventus are now reaping the rewards of promoting him into a central role in the first team.
A Breakout Star Under Igor Tudor
The attacker’s resurgence under Tudor has been instrumental in Juventus’ recent success. His consistent ability to score goals and provide assists has made him a reliable contributor during decisive moments. In the final stages of last season, Yildiz missed two of the last four league fixtures, yet still managed to contribute three goals or assists in the final two matches he featured in.
Before Juventus suffered defeat to Real Madrid at the Club World Cup, Yildiz had scored and assisted in five consecutive matches, underlining his attacking sharpness and creative influence. This level of performance has positioned him as a cornerstone of the team moving forward.
High Expectations for the Upcoming Campaign
Yildiz concluded the last Serie A season with seven goals and four assists, an impressive tally for a young forward still establishing himself at the highest level. With his increasing confidence and the tactical backing of Tudor, there is a strong belief that he can at least double that contribution in the forthcoming season.
The Bianconeri will be hoping Yildiz continues to deliver consistently, especially as they return to Champions League football. His progress will be crucial to Juventus’ ambitions both domestically and in Europe, and all signs suggest he is ready to meet the challenge.

He needs to take the next step. Anything less than 15 – 20 goal contributions would be disappointing. He is completely capable of those numbers
Unfortunately, he is very talented, but lacks consistently outstanding performance he needs to be the number 10 player of a victorious Juventus.
My tip:
goals: 8
assists: 12
That would be acceptable, but not enough for Juventus’ goals and “to the shirt”.
Guy is 20 years old give him at least 2 seasons before judge him. We already give for “free” Huijsen and Soule. Our management has been horendeous at last 2 years, if next 2 years go in same way we will be next Man.utd.
Unfortunately he has no more time, because:
– on the one hand, Juventus is not a club that trains young players, where young players can spend 3-4 seasons without expectations, and then Real Madrid will take them away as soon as they can perform at a high level.
– On the other hand, Del Piero has already started to perform at a high level at his age .
– And these “2 seasons” are already behind him. Juventus – especially now – need immediate results.
So this year there will be serious expectations, and if he can rarely meet them, he probably won’t have much time to do so.
Well Del Piero was 20 when he come in Juventus and in first 4 seasons he scored 5, 10, 13, 12 goals per season(serie a,cl and coppa included) not that goals are all in football but he didn’t score 20 or 30 goals. Anyway I believe Yildiz will be better this year than last season. But without more creative midfielders we are going to be short to win anything.
Yes, we need more competent players.
