The Turkish player’s new contract with Juve also allows him to enter the exclusive circle of the most recognized young stars in international football

He is not yet at the level of Lamine Yamal, who at just 18 years old earns more than €15 million a year at Barcelona, but Kenan Yildiz’s contract at Juve is still a very important one, allowing him to enter the circle of Under-21 players with the highest salaries in the world. Thanks to his new contract, the Turkish player will earn $6 million plus bonuses, up to a possible $7 million: enough to gain greater recognition at the international level.

The highest paid—  After Yamal, whose contract expires at the age of 23, come Warren Zaïre-Emery and Florian Wirtz, who will already reach double figures by the end of the year: the PSG midfielder is close to 12 million, while the Liverpool player exceeds 10 million. Yildiz earns twice as much as Mastantuono, whom Real Madrid tried to secure by offering him a salary of $3.5 million, and more than Endrick, who earns just over $4 million. The Turkish player from Juventus is therefore on the heels of Gavi, who earns around $9 million at Barcelona. He is roughly on par with Leny Yoro: the Manchester United player, born in 2005, also earns almost $7 million. Among the Under-21 players with the highest salaries at this moment in time are João Neves, who earns around €5 million at PSG, and Pau Cubarsí, who earns €4 million gross at Barcelona at the end of the year. This is exactly in line with Savinho at City.
