Tongue hanging out, a celebration that cannot go unnoticed at Juventus. Because Kenan Yildiz remembers Alessandro Del Piero when he scores, only three this season with the first team. Yet he seems like the player project everyone would like. Little more than 18 years old, with the idea of being able to be a craque, with goals for the senior national team. More with Turkey than with Juventus, in fact, almost as if to demonstrate that it is probably only a question of time for the definitive explosion. With the European Championship as a window and one certainty: the Bianconeri have no intention of selling him in the next summer window.
Like Soulé and more than Soulé. If the Argentine can leave, the Turkish has the idea that he could be Juventus’ generational champion. The one from which to start again, with number ten in the making. Montella blessed him several times, letting him play and creating, in fact, a safe space for him to grow, even when he played in Serie C. An oddity which, however, led Yildiz to become what he is now: a possible champion. How much he will become one (and if he will become one) will have to be shown at Juventus.
Already having a run-off with Federico Chiesa is no small feat, for those who have not yet played a European match. Kenan Yildiz turns 19 today.
