Latest update on 20-year-old Ildiz’s contract renewal: Juventus offers €6 million including bonuses, player demands a fixed salary

The 20-year-old Turkish prodigy Ildiz is seen as Juventus’ future, and the Bianconeri are determined to keep this rising star. According to the latest report from Italy’s "Slow Motion," Juventus aims to finalize a contract extension with Ildiz before Christmas, though some differences remain, mainly regarding the annual salary, but the gap is not large.

It is reported that Ildiz’s family has already arrived in Turin, planning to hold detailed renewal talks with Juventus CEO Comolli. Currently without an agency, Ildiz’s parents are representing him in negotiations. Juventus hopes to reach an agreement before Christmas as a perfect gift for the fans, with contract details to be finalized and signed in the new year. However, there is a salary disagreement: Juventus offers a net annual salary plus bonuses totaling €6 million, extending the contract from 2029 to 2030, while Ildiz demands a fixed net salary of €6 million plus bonuses, which would make him one of the highest-paid players after Vlahović (net €12 million).

Several top clubs from the big five leagues are currently monitoring Ildiz, including Premier League sides Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as La Liga’s Real Madrid. Renowned agent Mendes has also started approaching Ildiz, hoping to become his agent. If renewal talks with Juventus fail, Mendes will fully focus on finding a new club and securing a lucrative contract for Ildiz. Juventus considers Ildiz non-negotiable and will do everything to keep him.

Now 20 years old, Ildiz is valued at €75 million. This season, he has scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists in 13 Serie A matches, plus 1 goal and 3 assists in 6 Champions League appearances, making him a key attacking player for Juventus.
