Real Madrid are focused on new signings in central defence for next summer, while a new midfielder could also be on agenda.
A new forward is not something that appears to be in the plans for now, but things could change, especially if one of Rodrygo or Vinicius Jr. decides to leave, with the former struggling for prominence and the latter’s contract talks not progressing.
In that scenario, Kenan Yildiz of Juventus is a player that Real Madrid could move for, with the Turkish international having a lot of admirers at the club, including current manager Xabi Alonso.
Yildiz will cost €100 million
Now, according to the Italian newspaper La Stampa (h/t AS), Juventus have set an asking price of €100 million for Kenan Yildiz for next summer if they fail to reach an agreement over a contract extension.

The 20-year-old forward has a contract that runs until the summer of 2029, but he is one of the lowest earners in the squad, which is why Juventus are in talks to extend his contract with an improved salary.
But, in the scenario that there is no agreement and the player decides to seek a new challenge, the Italian giants will seek a transfer fee of €100 million for the Turkish international.
A versatile forward capable of playing across the frontline, Yildiz made waves at the FIFA Club World Cup during the summer, scoring three and assisting two goals from only four matches.
In the ongoing campaign, the young attacker has six goals and assists apiece from 21 matches in all competitions, displaying his quality and endless potential.
Real Madrid, thus, will have to spend a massive sum of €100 million if they intend to secure the services of the Juventus No. 10 in the summer of 2026.
