Eden Hazard once spoke glowingly of a Turkiye star, suggesting he'd be a perfect fit for the current Real Madrid attack.
Kenan Yildiz has set Serie A alight since making his debut just over three years ago. After impressing in his opening season for Juventus, the winger made the step up in his performances over the following two seasons.
With nine goals and six assists in sophomore season with Bianconeri he would continue to improve his output as last season he recorded 14 goals and 10 assists in all competitions. Averaging a goal contribution almost every other game, Luciano Spalletti has continuously praised the Turkish winger which resulted in a contract extension last season.
Eden Hazard Tipped Kenan Yildiz For Real Madrid
The Turkish international received praise from one of the Premier League's greatest wingers, Hazard. The Belgian told Italian outlet told Gazzetta dello Sport:
"My children are crazy about Yildiz. They want lots of his videos and hope to see him in the Premier League, as for me, he seems more like a Real Madrid-type player."
The former Chelsea and Real Madrid creative winger went a step further when discussing Yildiz:
"Yildiz is from Real Madrid".
The direct Turkish left winger has impressed every football fan that has even seen him take one dribble and praise from a generational talent has been represented by Juventus' decision to extend his contract. The 21 year old was ranked as our best Serie A wonderkid and he has lived up to all expectations.
Yildiz Has Europe's Big Guns Interested
The Independent reported during the summer that Premier League champions, Arsenal, were watching Yildiz closely but due to Yildiz's foot injury on the opening game of his Serie A season, Juventus refused to entertain the idea of a move away from Turin.
Chelsea have also flirted with the idea of bringing in the 21 year old, but after bids just shy of £90 million was rejected last year they have yet to renegotiate with the Italian giants. Liverpool have also been monitoring the Turkish winger's contract situation but after an extension was confirmed between Juventus and Yildiz, the Reds have pulled out of early talks.
La Liga giants, Real Madrid, have also been keeping a keen eye on Yildiz with Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that Los Blancos were extremely interested in the Turkish international's services. After yet another poor domestic season and failure in the Champions League, Florentino Perez looked to deepen his attacking depth but ultimately Juventus stood strong and refused to let their fan favourite leave.
With the January window soon approaching and with Juventus sitting 7th in Serie A, Yildiz could see himself finding a new home for the first time since leaving Bayern Munich's academy.
