Real Madrid continues its interest in signing Juventus player Kenan Yildiz, amid potential competition from Arsenal and Bayern Munich, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Kenan Yildiz
Club: Juventus
According to the newspaper, Real Madrid had previously inquired about the possibility of signing the Turkish player in winter 2025, during Xabi Alonso's tenure as team manager, before interest was renewed with a potential move for him in summer 2027.
Yildiz is considered one of the key names in Real Madrid's future plans, especially since Juventus values the player at around €100 million, and the asking price could rise if more than one club enters the race to sign him.
Real Madrid does not appear to be alone in the competition, as Arsenal has previously shown interest in the player while the English club searches for a left winger, while Bayern Munich has been monitoring developments regarding Yildiz's situation since his departure from the German club.
Yildiz recently renewed his contract with Juventus, receiving an annual salary of €7 million on a deal extending for four and a half seasons, plus a €6 million signing bonus.
Juventus declared Yildiz unsellable last summer, but the club's stance could change if the team fails to qualify for the Champions League, as management might be forced to reconsider its financial strategy.
Yildiz is currently absent from Juventus due to injury until December, while the club signed Bosnian Aljgevic for €30 million plus €5 million in bonuses, in a position similar to that of the Turkish player.
According to the report, Yildiz could become available, although this depends on various factors.
