La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Pérez views Yildiz as his dream signing. The Turkish international has contributed 11 goals and 10 assists across 45 appearances this season — his most productive campaign to date — establishing himself as one of the best young attackers in European football.
Juventus sit fourth in Serie A, one point ahead of Roma, with three matches remaining. A slip could eliminate them from next season's Champions League, and the financial consequences of that outcome would be felt immediately.
According to Gazzetta, no player would be considered untouchable in that scenario — not even Yildiz, who signed a contract extension in February but whose deal remains the subject of ongoing negotiations over salary.
The complication for any Real Madrid approach is positional. Yildiz operates on the left side of attack — the same territory as Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé — making his integration into the current setup a significant tactical puzzle. His international partnership with fellow Madrid player Arda Güler, with whom he has accumulated 33 caps across senior and youth levels for Turkey, is well established and could ease any adaptation.
Juventus have set an asking price of around €100 million for Yildiz and are keen to retain him. Madrid chief scout Juan Calafat has been monitoring the player closely, and Florentino Pérez's personal admiration for the forward is described as long-standing and genuine.
Francisco Conceicao is also attracting sustained Premier League interest from the same scenario, while Gleison Bremer and Dusan Vlahovic have both been linked with exits should Champions League football not be secured.
