In 2022, Turkish teenager Yildiz joined Juventus as a free agent from Bayern. Since then, he has become one of the brightest rising stars in Serie A. Not only has he scored goals and created opportunities for his teammates, he has also inherited the No. 10 jersey worn by legends such as Platini and Del Piero. Juventus legend Platini expressed his opinion on Yildiz's position on the field.

In an event, Platini said: "Yildiz is a No. 10 player. For me, he should play in the center. I don't know why Motta and Tudor let him play on the wings. Unfortunately, football now has a tendency to put good players on the wings when they should play in a more central position. I have been saying this for years, but no one listens to me."
