Real Madrid prepare 2027 move for Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz

Real Madrid are maintaining their interest in signing Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz, with Arsenal and Bayern Munich also monitoring the Turkey international, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The Spanish club first made enquiries about the possibility of bringing Yildiz to Madrid in winter 2025, when Xabi Alonso was in charge of the team. Their interest has since returned, with Real Madrid considering a move for the player in summer 2027.

Yildiz is regarded as one of Real Madrid’s leading long-term targets. Juventus value the 19-year-old at about 100m euros, although the asking price could increase if several clubs formally enter the race for his signature.

Arsenal have previously shown interest in Yildiz as they look for a left winger. Bayern Munich are also following the situation, having continued to monitor the player since his departure from the German club.

Yildiz recently renewed his contract with Juventus. The agreement runs for four and a half seasons and includes an annual salary of 7m euros, as well as a 6m-euro signing bonus.

Juventus declared Yildiz non-transferable last summer, but that position could change if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League. Such an outcome could force the Italian side to reconsider its financial strategy and assess whether a major sale is necessary.

The Turkey forward is currently unavailable because of an injury and is expected to be out of action until December. Juventus have also signed Bosnian player Aljovic for 30m euros, with a further 5m euros available in performance-related bonuses, to operate in a position similar to Yildiz’s.

According to the report, Yildiz could become available for transfer in summer 2027. Real Madrid would then be ready to open negotiations, with the starting point expected to be a fee of 100m euros.
