Agent Giovanni Branchini has revealed Real Madrid have asked for Juventus midfielder Kenan Yildiz.

Branchini, speaking with TMW, says Real coach Xabi Alonso is willing to sacrifice almost any of his players to sign the Turk.

He said, "Xabi is willing to let anyone go to get him, except (Kylian) Mbappé. Juventus are currently asking for €100 million, 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."

Branchini also commented on Dean Huijsen's departure from Juve. The Spain defender joined Real in the summer from Bournemouth.

He added, "He was sold badly, but when you have to sell at all costs... For me, the other deals that are questionable are: (Michele) Di Gregorio, even though he was top-notch last night, when you had (Wojciech) Szczesny and (Matteo) Perin as second-choice players, or Douglas Luiz, who Aston Villa had to sell at all costs.

"As for the rest, it's open to discussion, because for me, Juventus isn't bad."
