Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to invest €100 million to sign Kenan Yildiz, Juventus’ rising star who has been shining in Serie A.
Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has identified Kenan Yildiz as a key player for the club’s future.
According to Italian agent Giovanni Branchini, the Spanish manager is so convinced of the Turkish forward’s potential that he would be willing to let almost any first-team player leave in order to finance the deal — except for Kylian Mbappé.
The 20-year-old has impressed at Juventus as a second striker, scoring two goals and providing four assists in ten matches this season, catching Alonso’s attention. Juventus are working on a new contract extension for Yildiz, aiming to secure his stay until 2030. The Italian club plans to increase his salary — currently around €2.8 million per year — to better reflect his growing importance within the team.
However, despite these efforts, Real Madrid’s interest could complicate the situation. Along with Real Madrid, clubs such as Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United have also expressed interest in the Turkish forward.
Yildiz now finds himself at a crossroads in his career. His performances at Juventus have been outstanding, but the opportunity to join Real Madrid represents a major step forward in his development. Alonso’s admiration and Madrid’s willingness to make a significant investment highlight the value they place on the young Turkish talent.
It will be crucial to monitor how the situation unfolds in the coming months, as other top clubs continue to closely follow the status of his contract.
