Manchester United interested in signing €100 million-rated Real Madrid target | OneFootball

Earlier this week, reports emerged from Italy stated that Real Madrid are interested in Juventus and Turkey forward Kenan Yildiz.

The 20-year-old attacker is currently in a contract standoff with the Bianconeri, and Real Madrid are alert to the situation.

Yildiz has made his name as one of the most exciting young forwards in European football, especially after his breakthrough performances during the summer’s FIFA Club World Cup.

The Turkish ace, capable of playing anywhere across the frontline, has popped up on Real Madrid’s radar due to his performances and natural ability.

However, it appears that the young prodigy is attracting interest from other big clubs apart from the Spanish giants.

The Red Devils could be looking to further bolster their attack next year despite having spent heavily on Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha during the summer transfer window.

As such, Yildiz has seemingly emerged as a target for the Premier League giants, who are looking to bring an end to their lean period under Ruben Amorim.

If true, Manchester United could end up battling with Real Madrid in the race for Yildiz, with there being a chance that more clubs enter the race if Juventus are unable to agree a contract with him.

The Italian heavyweights are set to demand a transfer fee of €100 million for the Turkish international in case a renewal agreement is not reached.

Real Madrid, who are also targeting a new defensive signing and possibly a new midfielder as well, might be reluctant to shell out such a fee on a forward, unless there is a major departure in the attacking department.
