Italian agent says Xabi Alonso wants 100m Yildiz at Real Madrid: ‘Willing to let everyone go’

Italian agent and intermediary Giovanni Branchini says that Xabi Alonso wants to bring Juventus’ star Kenan Yildiz to Real Madrid: ‘He’s willing to let everyone go, except for Kylian Mbappé, to get him.’

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso wants to bring Yildiz to the Bernabeu, according to Italian agent Branchini.

“Xabi Alonso wants Yildiz at Real Madrid,” Branchini told TMW.

“He’s willing to let everyone go, except for Kylian Mbappé, to get him. Juventus ask for €100m today, but every club do that for anyone, because you’ll eventually find someone paying that fee. Then, of course, there’s the Nico Williams case, who is wanted by everyone in the world, but has renewed with Athletic Club. Yildiz is a clear request to the owners. He’s really admired.”

Branchini is one of the most well-known Italian agents and intermediaries and is also the representative of Milan coach Allegri.

Yildiz played against Real Madrid this past Wednesday, when Juventus suffered a 1-0 loss at the Bernabeu in the Champions League Round 3.

Yildiz would reunite with Dean Huijsen, a former Juventus defender, if he joins Real Madrid over the summer.

“Huijsen was sold badly, but this is what happens when you must sell at all costs,” noted Branchini.

“To me, the questionable deals were others. Di Gregorio, even if he put in a top performance against Real Madrid, because they already had Szczesny and Perin. Or Douglas Luiz, who Aston Villa had to sell at all costs. The rest is debatable because I still think Juventus are not a bad team.”

Chelsea and Arsenal have also been linked with Yildiz, while Juventus are in talks to extend his contract to 2030.

Yildiz joined Juventus’ youth sector from Bayern Munich in 2022. He has two goals and four assists in 10 appearances across all competitions this season.
