An international axis is beginning to take shape between Juventus and Real Madrid, with fresh discussions expected to lead to a direct meeting within the next ten days.

According to Tuttosport, the two European giants are exploring several market opportunities as both clubs prepare for crucial rebuilding phases.

Juventus are determined to return to the top of Italian football under Luciano Spalletti, while Real Madrid are looking to move on from a disappointing campaign filled with problems both on and off the pitch.

Despite their different realities, the two clubs share similar ambitions — and the growing relationship could bring advantages on multiple fronts.

Brahim Diaz Emerges as Juventus’ Main Alternative

As reported by Tuttosport, Juventus executives Damien Comolli and Ottolini are already working on alternatives in case the difficult pursuit of Bernardo Silva becomes impossible to complete.

The Portuguese star remains the dream target for the attacking midfield role, but the financial demands and strong competition surrounding the Manchester City playmaker make the deal extremely complicated.

For that reason, Juventus are now seriously considering Brahim Diaz as their primary alternative. The versatile attacker, who turns 27 in August, is admired for his international experience, tactical flexibility, and previous success in AC Milan colors.

Brahim Diaz reportedly still has a strong connection with Italy after his two positive seasons in Milan, and Juventus see that as a major advantage.

His contract with Real Madrid expires in 2027, while talks over a renewal until 2030 were never finalized. That situation could push Madrid to consider a sale this summer in order to avoid losing leverage in future negotiations.

Spalletti is believed to appreciate the player’s ability to operate across multiple attacking roles, while Juventus also value the winning mentality he would bring to Continassa — something considered essential inside the current squad.

Gonzalo Garcia and the Long-Term Yildiz Factor

The expected summit between Juventus and Real Madrid could also include discussions over Gonzalo Garcia, one of Madrid’s promising young forwards.

Tuttosport compares his situation to that of Alvaro Morata before his first move to Juventus: highly productive at youth level, encouraging signs with the senior team, but still in need of an intermediate step before fully exploding at elite level.

The 2004-born striker is viewed as a possible reinforcement for Juventus’ attacking department, especially with uncertainty continuing around Dusan Vlahovic.

A transfer structure similar to Morata’s old deal — including a future buy-back clause for Real Madrid — could satisfy all parties involved.

At the same time, Real Madrid are also looking ahead with strong interest in Kenan Yildiz. A summer departure currently appears almost impossible after the Turkish talent recently renewed his Juventus contract, but the Spanish giants reportedly want to establish a privileged position for any future negotiations.

According to Tuttosport, Real Madrid would like to maintain an informal understanding with Juventus regarding the player’s long-term future.

While Yildiz remains fully committed to the Bianconeri project today, the appeal of the Santiago Bernabéu could eventually become a decisive factor in the years ahead.
