Juventus’ Strategic Moves Amid Financial Challenges
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Serie A giants Juventus are determined to retain their emerging talent, Kenan Yildiz. Despite being in a financially tight spot, the club is hopeful for relief through their major stakeholder Exor and potential Champions League earnings.
Kenan Yıldız has made headlines by surpassing Alessandro Del Piero’s record as the youngest player to score for Juventus in the Champions League. His latest goal against Genoa places him alongside Moise Kean as the top scorer under 20 in Juventus’ history. Fans are drawing parallels between Yildiz’s gameplay and Del Piero’s, underscoring the club’s intent to nurture this promising talent.
Expectations from Exor and Champions League Revenue
Juventus’ financial strategy is heavily reliant on the prospective 15 million euro fund from Exor, which could escalate to 110 million euros by summer. However, securing a spot in the Champions League is crucial for the club. Achieving a top-four finish in Serie A would enhance Juventus’ chances of keeping Yildiz, potentially leading to the sale of other players like Cambiaso, Vlahovic, and Mbangula. Failure to qualify might force the club to consider selling Yildiz to bridge the financial gap.
The Huijsen Scenario: A Lesson for Juventus
Last season, Juventus transferred Dean Huijsen to Bournemouth for 15 million euros, only to see his value skyrocket, with Real Madrid and Chelsea now willing to offer 50 million euros. Determined not to repeat this oversight, Juventus believes Yildiz’s market value could soar even further. They are open to selling him only if an offer between 80 to 100 million euros materializes.
Currently, Juventus’ primary goal is to retain Kenan Yildiz, ensuring his growth and strengthening the team’s prospects for Champions League qualification.
