Agent Antonio Caliendo believes both Douglas Luiz and Kenan Yildiz will be key to Juventus future success.

    Luiz was signed from Aston Villa for a fee of €50 million but has been disappointing in his eight games this season, failing to score or assist and conceding two penalties.

    Caliendo, who has previously represented Roberto Baggio, David Trezeguet and Douglas Maicon, told Calciomercato. “We are use to the feeling that players who come from abroad have to perform straight away in Italy, but there are still many who struggle in the first six months to learn new ways and tactics,” he told Calciomercato.

    “It’s a complete change of direction. We just have to be patient. He’ll start to show what he can do in the long run.”

  Meanwhile, Caliendo spoke about Yildiz, who has become a key player for the club, forcing Federico Chiesa to leave, saying: “I am not surprise that Chiesa left because he (Yildiz) has huge potential, but the lack of consistency has forced Juventus to look for someone else.”

    “I like Yildiz a lot – a talented number 10 and I believe Yildiz is one of the players who has the talent of Del Piero. He is closer to Del Piero than Baggio UFABET because Baggio’s talent is uniquely Diego Maradona-like.”
