Kenan Yildiz’s season began in the worst possible way, with the 21‑year‑old Juventus attacker fracturing the fifth metatarsal in his left foot on Serie A’s opening weekend. The injury required surgery and is expected to keep him out until November, depriving the Bianconeri of a key creative force who delivered 11 goals and 10 assists last season. Even so, interest around Europe has not cooled.
Reports in Spain claim Real Madrid continue to monitor Yildiz closely as a long‑term target, viewing him as one of the continent’s most promising attacking profiles. Arsenal, who explored a move last summer, could also revisit the idea in 2027. Juventus, aware of growing attention and determined to protect a player under contract until 2030, are reportedly considering an additional extension to reinforce his importance. For now, Yildiz focuses on recovery — while Europe’s giants keep watching.
