Real Madrid have received the news of Kenan Yildiz's contract renewal with Juventus with great disappointment. According to sources close to the Spanish club, the Turkish talent was seen as the ideal candidate to replace Vinícius Júnior, in case the Brazilian decided to leave "Los Blancos".
Real Madrid's interest was real and concrete, to the point that the idea was communicated to the player's inner circle, including his agent. However, Juventus acted quickly and decisively.
The "Old Lady" offered Yildiz a package that was hard to refuse:
New long-term contract
Status of the highest paid player on the team
The role of the central figure of the future sports project
These factors have weighed heavily in the 20-year-old's final decision, who has chosen stability, confidence and protagonism at Juventus, instead of a big transfer to Real Madrid.
This development is considered a strategic win for Juventus and a missed opportunity for Real Madrid, who must now look for other alternatives if Vinícius' situation changes in the future.
Kenan Yildiz, on the other hand, confirms that he wants to write his own history in Turin — as the new leader of the Bianconeri. /Express newspaper
