UEFA Champions League
Real Madrid keeps Kenan Yildiz, 21-year-old, on its target list to evaluate his signing from Juventus in the upcoming transfer windows. The latest Real Madrid transfer rumors link the Turkish player to Florentino's agenda.
As confirmed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Florentino Pérez's board is monitoring the situation of the Turkish international, who is currently recovering from surgery due to a fractured fifth metatarsal in his left foot.

Kenan Yildiz's records at Juventus and his contractual situation
The 21-year-old forward ended the previous season in Italy as a regular starter, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists across all official competitions. The player is under contract with Juventus until June 2030, with plans for his return to the field in November.
Despite the long-term contract in Turin, the Italian club's sports management intends to extend his contract to increase his earnings and ward off interest from top European clubs.
Competition with Arsenal and Real Madrid's market strategy
In addition to Real Madrid's interest, Arsenal attempted to secure the player's signing in the summer of 2026 and is considering making a formal offer in June 2027. The London club is searching for a left-winger specialist to bolster its Premier League squad rotation.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid's executives are monitoring the winger's physical recovery post-injury before deciding on recruiting him.
Juventus' sporting conditions to retain the player
The player's stay in Turin hinges on Juventus' ability to compete for Serie A titles and progress in the Champions League. If the team falls short of continental goals, his departure might be likely in future transfer windows.
The Madrid board believes the forward's profile fits the strategy of recruiting international young talents for the attacking department.
Real Madrid's scouts will attend the Turkish player's matches in Italy in person starting from his comeback in November 2026.
If Juventus fails to secure a spot in the next UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid's board will start formal discussions with his representatives in May 2027.
