Real Madrid keep tabs on Kenan Yildiz, Juventus gem | OneFootball

Kenan Yildiz is back on Real Madrid’s radar. The young Turkish forward is regarded as one of Juventus’ biggest prospects, and his development has attracted the interest of several European giants.

At 21, however, Yildiz is going through a difficult start to the season after suffering an injury that forced him to undergo surgery.

An injury that halted his start to the season

Yildiz suffered a fracture to his fifth metatarsal during the opening matchday of the Serie A season. The injury required surgery and currently keeps him sidelined.

The expectation is that the player could return during November, although the pace of his comeback will depend on his recovery.

The setback comes after a season in which Yildiz took an important step forward with Juventus.

11 goals and 10 assists caught the market’s attention

During the last campaign, the Turkey international recorded 11 goals and 10 assists, numbers that firmly put him in the international spotlight.

His performances led several clubs to start monitoring his situation and, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Real Madrid is one of the teams that has kept a close eye on his progress.

Los Blancos are said to be watching the player’s development before considering any move.

Arsenal also tried to sign him

Real Madrid would not be the only giant interested. Arsenal also reportedly tried to secure Yildiz’s services during last summer’s transfer window, although the player ultimately remained in Turin.

Juventus, meanwhile, are in a strong contractual position to protect their main talent.

Juventus have him under contract until 2030

Yildiz recently renewed his deal with the Italian side and remains tied to Juventus until June 2030.

This means that any attempt by Real Madrid or another club to sign him would necessarily have to go through negotiations with the Turin club.

For now, there is no confirmed move, but Yildiz is once again on Madrid’s radar as he recovers from an injury that halted his promising start to the season.
