Real Madrid & Liverpool scouting Turkish prodigy Kenan Yildiz

Kenan Yildiz plays for Juventus

According to a report by Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Kenan Yildiz is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Merengues view the Juventus prodigy in the mould of Arda Guler as a star for the future. Meanwhile, the 18-year-old attacking sensation is also a target for Premier League heavyweights Liverpool.

Yildiz, 18, is unhappy with a lack of game time under manager Massimiliano Allegri this season having made six appearances off the bench and has reportedly asked his agent to find him another team.

The Turkey international, who has also been linked with a €40 million move to Arsenal, is tipped to become one of the best midfielders in Europe and Liverpool have shown “concrete interest” in signing him.

Yildiz came through the youth setup at German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich but opted to leave in 2022 for a move to Turin.

Kenan Yildiz is a native of Regensburg in Germany, and he began his youth career in his hometown. But he rose to prominence after joining Bayern Munich in 2012, spending a decade with the Bavarian giants. However, the teenage sensation’s stint in Germany ended last year, with Juventus signing him for free.

Real Madrid are renowned for constantly scouring the market for the best young prospects. Such an outlook has ensured smooth transitions from one generation to the next. It has also meant that world-class prospects like Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde, and Eduardo Camavinga have become pivotal figures for Real Madrid.

As for Liverpool, the Reds also like to identify opportunities to poach highly-rated prospects whenever the chances present themselves. Yildiz has thus emerged as a viable target for the Merseyside club. But recent reports have claimed that Juventus will not entertain any bids for the 18-year-old prospect.
