The Turkish star Kenan Yildiz, Juventus player, confirmed that his team is going through a crucial phase at the end of the season, during his appearance at the club's store inside Allianz Stadium, where he spoke about the team's ambitions to qualify for the Champions League amidst a strong competition in the Italian league.

He explained that the team continues to work to secure one of the qualifying spots despite the pressures.

Yildiz pointed out that Juventus is preparing for two very important matches against Fiorentina and then Torino, emphasizing that the team is handling the pressure with calmness and focus, and that the main goal is to give their best until the end of the season. He added that the season has been long and difficult but the mission is not over yet.

During the ceremony presenting Juventus' new jersey for the 2026-2027 season, he said: "Juventus is in my heart, and I thank John Elkann for his wonderful words about me."

Regarding his future: "I am very happy here. We want to give back to the fans for the support and love they give us.”
