Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz would be “delighted” to join close friend Dean Huijsen at Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.
The Turkey international has attracted significant transfer interest in recent months and he is expected to be one of the major players during the 2025 summer window amid rumours that multiple elite clubs are chasing a deal.

Premier League teams such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are all keeping close tabs on the talented 20-year-old, while Barcelona and Real Madrid are also reportedly fighting for his signature as they look to bring him to Spain.
Chelsea are considered long-term admirers of the Juventus star, however reports in Italy have suggested that Yildiz is likely to snub interest from Enzo Maresca’s side in favour of signing a new long-term contract in Turin.
His current deal with Igor Tudor’s side isn’t due to expire until 2029, but Yildiz is understood to be in talks over penning fresh terms with the Old Lady.
Despite this, Spanish publication Defensa Central believe Yildiz is still eager to join Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old played with the aforementioned Huijsen during their time together at Juventus and it’s reported that following his close friend to the Santiago Bernabeu would “greatly excite” Yildiz.
The Turkey forward has registered six goal contributions in 11 appearances so far this season, and it’s believed that Juventus will demand a fee of €100 million to sanction a sale next year, despite the fact his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) currently stands at just €64m.
Zinedine Zidane on Kenan Yildiz
Real Madrid have already received the approval of club legend Zinedine Zidane regarding a move for Yildiz, with the Frenchman eager to praise him earlier this month.
“I like him, he is a good player,” Zidane told Turkish outlet Fanatik in October. “He scores goals. He has quality. He still needs to improve and prove himself.
“Juventus are doing well with [Igor] Tudor, he is slowly improving. I am happy for him and for Juventus.”
