Famous star: There is no problem in giving Yildiz the No. 10 jersey, but making him captain is a mistake

During his player days, Massimo Mauro was an expert at the No. 10 position. He played alongside Zico at Udinese, Platini at Juventus, and Maradona at Naples. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Mauro discussed the current situation and future of Juventus midfielder Yildiz.

About Yildiz's contract extension

Juventus currently lacks top stars, so they place their hope on Yildiz, a player who is expected to become a top star. However, he is only 20 years old, and while he has shown some genius, he has not yet shown the consistency needed to become a team leader.

Yildiz is one of Juventus' most important players and, like Kefren Thuram and Cambiasso, is the future pillar of the team. The problem is that Yildiz has not yet grown into the superstar Juventus needs, and the current atmosphere is not suitable for him to assume such an important responsibility. Maybe he doesn't have the makings of a leader, but he can be a great second-in-command. However, the team still needs a real leader. Del Piero played alongside Vialli, Ravanelli and Baggio early in his career, which avoided putting all the responsibility on an even brilliant youngster.

On whether the No. 10 jersey is an honor or a burden

It is not a mistake to give Yildiz the No. 10 jersey, but I think it is a mistake to make him the captain because he does not have the qualities to become a captain.

First of all, I hope Yildiz can be interviewed in Italian. To be captain you need to be a role model for the club, your teammates and the fans. He would be more comfortable at Manchester City or Real Madrid, where there are five or six players sharing the responsibilities.

Recommendations for Yildiz's future

Yildiz will be favored by many teams, but renewing the contract is also a good result for him, but this is not the end yet. Lately players seem to see Juventus as a springboard, but it should be a place where potential can be shown.

On whether Juventus should give Yildiz a maximum salary contract or accept an offer of 80 million to 100 million euros

For a player like Yildiz, it is better to reach a contract extension agreement, because there is always time to sell him, but he should receive a top salary. However, he also needs to become more valuable. A higher salary means more responsibility, higher performance, more goals.
