Real Madrid could go on the offensive for Kenan Yildiz during the next summer transfer window. According to the Corriere dello Sportthe Madrid club has once again placed the young Turk among its priorities and could concretely return to the charge in the coming months. As a reminder, Real had already made inquiries about the player in the winter of 2025, at the time when Xabi Alonso wanted to make him a priority. From now on, the Merengues have reactivated the track, with an offensive planned for the summer of 2027.
The sporting situation of Juventus could, however, be decisive in this matter. The Italian media specifies, in fact, that the Turin club still considers Yildiz as one of the faces of its project and declared him non-transferable during the last transfer window after its extension until 2030. But a new lack of qualification for the Champions League could change the situation and weaken the position of the Old Lady. According to the transalpine daily, this possibility could push Juventus to consider a sale of its jewel in the summer of 2027, particularly if it considers that it already has a replacement solution with the young Alajbegovic.
Competition promises to be fierce
To secure the services of Yildiz, Real Madrid will nevertheless have to pay the price. Indeed, Juventus has valued its Turkish international at 100 million euros, or even more, for almost a year. The Spanish club, which has already spent 140 million euros on Yan Diomandé during the last transfer window, does not seem afraid of high amounts when it comes to strengthening its offensive sector. Yildiz could thus compete with Vinícius Júnior on the left side, while Real seeks to have a squad capable of absorbing a particularly busy schedule.
Note, finally, that Real Madrid would not be alone in the matter. Arsenal and Bayern Munich are also said to be monitoring the 21-year-old’s situation. If the Gunners are particularly looking for additional solutions on the left side, Bayern, who know Yildiz well since his time in their training center, continue to follow his development. With three European heavyweights already on the lookout, a possible non-qualification of Juventus for the Champions League could therefore transform the Yildiz file into a real transfer window battle.
