According to Fichajes, Real Madrid is preparing an ambitious €100 million offer to sign Juventus sensation Kenan Yildiz. The 20-year-old Turkish forward has quickly become one of Serie A’s brightest young talents, drawing admiration from across Europe.
This move is reportedly being pushed directly by Los Blancos’ new manager, Xabi Alonso. The Spanish coach views Yildiz as a cornerstone for Madrid’s next attacking generation.

His confidence in the Turkish star is so strong that, according to Italian agent Giovanni Branchini, Alonso would even consider selling most of his current squad to fund the transfer — with the sole exception of Kylian Mbappé.
Yildiz has impressed fans and analysts alike this season. Playing mainly as a second striker, he has recorded two goals and four assists in just ten matches.
His creativity, agility, and flair have made him a key figure in Juventus’s attacking setup. For a player his age, his composure and vision stand out as traits of a future superstar.
Juventus fight to keep their rising star
Juventus, however, are unwilling to let their prized asset go without a fight. The Italian club is reportedly preparing a long-term contract extension that would tie Yildiz to Turin until 2030.
As part of the deal, the Bianconeri plan to significantly increase his current annual salary of around €2.8 million. Club executives believe the young forward is central to their future plans, both on the pitch and as a potential symbol of their resurgence.

Yet, Real Madrid’s determination poses a serious challenge. A €100 million bid from one of Europe’s biggest clubs is difficult for any team to ignore, even one as proud as Juventus.
To complicate matters, Real Madrid are not alone in the race. Premier League giants Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United have also shown interest in signing Yildiz. Each club sees him as a long-term investment and a possible face of their next-generation project.
The coming months promise high drama as Juventus push to secure their wonderkid’s future, while Real Madrid intensify their pursuit under Alonso’s guidance.
Whether Yildiz stays in Turin or heads to the Santiago Bernabéu, this transfer saga could reshape the European football landscape for years to come.
