Defensa Central reports that Real Madrid chief scout Juan Calafat is keeping a close eye on Yildiz.

Meanwhile, Italian agent Giovanni Branchini has made strong remarks about the player’s connection to Madrid, stating that manager Xabi Alonso is so impressed with Yildiz that he would be willing to part with any member of his squad except French star Kylian Mbappé.

“Xabi Alonso wants Yildiz at Real Madrid,” Branchini told TMW. “Xabi is willing to let anyone go to get him, except Mbappé. Juventus are currently asking for €100million (£87m, $116m), but anyone will do that for anyone, as long as you find someone who will give it to you.

“Of course, then there’s the Nico Williams case, everyone wants him, and he renewed his contract at Athletic and stayed there. Yildiz was a clear request from the owners, they really like him.”
