Kenan Yildiz ducked questions about his contract after helping Juventus to their Champions League win against Benfica last night.

The Turkey midfielder's contract negotiations have been dragging on for months, with a major difference between Yildiz's current €6m-a-year demands and Juve's last offer of €4.5m-a-year.

"I'm not talking about my contract," he said after the 2-0 win.

"I'm only focused on the pitch and what I have to do here. I'm happy at Juventus, and that's what matters now."

On working with coach Luciano Spalletti, Yildiz also told TRT Spor: “He said he loves me like a son. I feel great at Juventus; this is my team. I have a special relationship with the coach: he's a great person, he does so much for me, and I always try to give everything for him and the team.

"The enthusiasm of the fans is incredible. When I'm with the fans, I feel a great emotion. I see my shirts, I sign autographs, I try to stop by whenever I can. They are very important  to us and to me personally.”
