Real Madrid are expected to make some significant changes in the coming months at the club after yet another campaign that has underdelivered.
Things will start with the appointment of a new manager while the club are also working to bring former midfielder Toni Kroos back as part of the sporting structure.
Reinforcements are expected to be signed in multiple positions, in particular at central defence and central midfield.
Kenan Yildiz – Florentino Perez’s ‘dream’
Meanwhile, according to Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t MARCA), Real Madrid president Florentino Perez sees Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz as his ‘dream player’ heading into the summer.
The 21-year-old attacker has become one of the most exciting young players in Serie A, racking up 11 goals and ten assists from 45 games in all competitions this term.
At Juventus, there is concern about balancing finances in the event of failing to qualify for the Champions League. If they fail to secure qualification, financial adjustments would be required and no player would be considered untouchable – not even Yildiz.

And, Real Madrid president reportedly sees the Turkish international as one of his most desired players ahead of next season.
While it is true that Yildiz is a talented young player with immense potential, he operates in a similar position to that of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.
So, fitting him into the team at the Santiago Bernabeu would present a major challenge if Real Madrid do consider a move for him.
Moreover, Yildiz signed a new contract with Juventus earlier this year, committing to the club until 2030. So, any move would need a major investment, making the possibility of a transfer to Real Madrid highly unlikely.
