Kenan Yildiz returns to the orbit of Real Madrid, this time as a strategic medium-term bet to strengthen a forward line that is looking for generational continuity. The young Turkish forward, one of the most exciting talents in Serie A, fits perfectly into the sporting vision projected from Valdebebas, especially if Xabi Alonso eventually takes over the reins of the white bench next season. The interest is not spontaneous: the Spanish coach already tried to sign him during his time at Bayer Leverkusen, although the deal did not materialize back then.

A Renewal that Starts to Stall

The contractual situation of the forward is a determining factor. Juventus Turin has tried to renew his contract in recent months, well aware of the enormous value he represents at 20 years old. However, negotiations with Engin Yildiz, father and representative of the player, have significantly cooled off. Economic and sporting differences have put a pause on an agreement that seemed to be on track, fueling the sense of opportunity for several European clubs.

As confirmed by the newspaper AS, Real Madrid is closely monitoring this stagnation. The forward's market value is around 75 million euros, a high but manageable figure for a project that aims to ensure its competitiveness in all areas, especially in the offensive front. For the white board, Yildiz fits the profile of a young, explosive player with room for development, a formula that has brought great success over the past six years.

Why Kenan Yildiz Fits in at Real Madrid

Within the club's sports planning, one of the recurring ideas is to gradually build the natural successors to their top stars. While Vinicius is the undisputed figure on the left flank, the club deems it necessary to anticipate future scenarios and have a player capable of eventually assuming a leading role. Yildiz, with his talent, personality, and offensive reading, meets these requirements and offers a versatility that aligns with the dominant style of the white team in LaLiga.

The Turkish forward stands out for his ability to create imbalances, his precision in striking the ball, and his ease in linking up in tight spaces. His progress at Juventus has been rapid, evolving from a promising talent to an essential player in the first team. Allegri provided him with his initial minutes, but it has been Thiago Motta who has cemented his continuity. Despite this, the club acknowledges the risk of prolonging his contract renewal process further.

Yildiz enters Real Madrid's agenda

Juventus Turin, Balancing Pressure and the Need to Make Decisions

Internally, Juventus Turin agrees on the need to retain Yildiz, not only due to his current performance but also because of his sporting and economic potential. However, the lack of agreement with his circle has sparked some nervousness, especially after recent operations where the club lost valuable young talents for amounts below their true potential. Their aim is to secure the renewal before entertaining offers, although they are aware that the player carefully evaluates the projects that come his way.

An Increasingly Desired Talent in LaLiga

Yildiz being on Real Madrid's radar has not gone unnoticed by other LaLiga clubs, but all signs point to the white club being in the best position. Their young, competitive project with European aspirations is particularly appealing to a player seeking stability, playing time, and an environment where he can unleash his offensive abilities. In Turkey, it is even said that he would welcome such a significant move if it comes at the right time.

With the market approaching, Juventus will need to solve a puzzle that will shape their immediate future. If the renewal does not progress, the scenario could definitively shift towards a transfer, where the name of Kenan Yildiz will be the absolute protagonist of the upcoming transfer window.
