Juventus and Milan pursue 17-year-old future star, Yildiz is shortlisted for the best new star selection of the GFA Award

Compete for future stars!

In a U17 World Cup group match on November 6, the Belgian U17 team defeated Fiji U17 7-0. 17-year-old Belgian forward Mitungo scored four goals. His dazzling statistics attracted the attention of many fans.

According to Italian media reports, in order to strengthen their striker reserves, two Serie A teams, Juventus and AC Milan, are interested in chasing Mitongo. However, considering that Mitongo is still young, he has not even established a foothold in the Belgian league. Even if he lands in Italian football, he cannot escape the fate of entering the youth team or the second team first.

Judging from the German transfer data, Mitongo has renewed his contract with Standard Liege this summer until June 30, 2028. The coaching staff of Standard Liege is quite optimistic about his potential. If Juventus and Milan want to successfully sign Mitongo, they may need to make a lot of efforts.

As the group stage of this World Cup preliminaries comes to an end, "Squawka" will update the statistics of the competition in a timely manner.

Juventus winger Kostic successfully entered the top 10 of the "Crossing List" with 16 crosses. In the 8th round, Serbia defeated Andorra 3-1 in an away game. Kostic assisted his teammate Vlahovic to score, making great contributions to Serbia's victory.

Vlahovic ranked 8th on the "List of touches in the opponent's penalty area" with 55 times. According to the well-known football reporter Romano, the contract renewal between Vlahovic and Juventus is still at a standstill, and Juventus cannot meet the annual salary standard expected by Vlahovic.

Yildiz ranked 7th in the "Dragon List" with 17 dribbles. In the two group matches in October, Yildiz scored 3 goals and his performance was remarkable. Since Turkey did not receive a direct ticket to the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup, in March next year, Yildiz will have to face the difficult challenge of the play-offs with his Turkish teammates.

It is worth mentioning that recently, the "Global Foot Awards" officially announced the candidate list for the best new star in 2025. Yildiz's name is clearly on the list. Along with him, there are many talents such as Neves, Paz, Douai, Güler and Kubasi competing for the best new star.

Good luck to Yildiz!

Other Juventus trends

Yesterday, Juventus’ official website announced that 31-year-old defender Rugani suffered a soleus muscle injury and will miss the next period of competition.

Although Rugani's injury seems to have an impact on Juventus's defense configuration, the retracement of Kupmenas and the imminent return of players such as Kelly have minimized this impact. Spalletti does not need to worry too much about Rugani's injury for the time being.

A month ago, Rugani renewed his contract with Juventus until 2028, proving his loyalty to Juventus fans. Now, he needs to recover from his injuries and strive to return to the court as soon as possible to contribute more to Juventus.
