€100m for Mourinho! Real Madrid want Juventus star
José Mourinho could receive another major star for his Real Madrid project.
Details: According to Corriere dello Sport, Real Madrid remain interested in Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz and could make a serious move for the Turkish international in the summer of 2027. The Turin club have valued one of their main stars at €100 million, and the asking price could even rise above that figure.
The Madrid giants had already explored the possibility of signing Yildiz in 2025, when Xabi Alonso was in charge. Corriere dello Sport reports that the change on the bench and Mourinho's arrival did not completely remove the 21-year-old from the club's radar, and Madrid could return for him next summer.
Real Madrid will not be alone if Juventus eventually open the door to a transfer. Arsenal have also shown interest in the versatile attacker, while Bayern Munich continue to follow their former academy player. The German option is described as more complicated, but the race could develop into a battle between several European giants.
A lot may depend on Juventus' season. The Italian newspaper claims that failure to finish in the Champions League places could force the Bianconeri to reconsider their transfer strategy and potentially listen to offers for Yildiz, with negotiations expected to start from around €100 million. It is worth noting that Juventus officially renewed Yildiz's contract in February 2026, tying the Turkish international to the club until June 30, 2030.
