Juventus eye summer move for three Real Madrid stars; contacts made – report
The upcoming summer transfer window is likely to see plenty of departures from Real Madrid after what has been another underwhelming campaign.
Given the situation, a number of clubs across Europe are keeping an eye on the happenings at Valdebebas, hoping to strike a deal for players who could be on the move in the summer.
Juventus eyeing Brahim Diaz, Gonzalo Garcia
In that regard, Tuttosport (h/t AS) reports that Juventus have set their sights on a swoop on Real Madrid for multiple players.
Indeed, as per the Italian publication, the Serie A heavyweights are interested in signing two attackers, Brahim Diaz and Gonzalo Garcia, and have already made contact with Los Blancos over the possibility.
Gonzalo is expected to leave at the end of the season, either on loan or permanently with a buyback option. The striker has struggled for minutes this season and his situation will only get harder next term when Endrick returns from his loan spell.
As for Brahim, the versatile Moroccan star has impressed whenever he has been given a chance, but he is not a regular starter. As such, the club could be open to offers in order to make room for new arrivals.
Juventus’ idea would be to sign Brahim and Gonzalo on loan deals, and in exchange they would give Real Madrid a future priority option on Kenan Yildiz, who is understood to be a player that Florentino Perez admires greatly.
Juve also want David Alaba
On top of that, the report also states that Juventus are showing an interest in signing David Alaba as well.
The veteran Austrian defender is all set to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season as a free agent, when his contract runs out.
Given his fitness problems, Real Madrid have decided not to offer Alaba a renewal, and Juventus are now exploring a move for the former Bayern Munich ace.
Superagent Pini Zahavi has reportedly held talks with clubs in Italy about the experienced defender, and only time will tell if Juventus make a move to sign him on a free transfer.

Carlos Espi reacts after scoring match-winning goal in Elche 2-3 Real Madrid: ‘Starting like this is a dream’
Carlos Espi is becoming Real Madrid’s unlikely late-game specialist.
The 21-year-old once again came off the bench to rescue Jose Mourinho’s side, this time scoring the 91st-minute winner in a dramatic 3-2 victory over Elche.
It was his second goal for the club, and both have arrived at crucial moments.
Speaking to Real Madrid TV after the match, Espi could barely contain his excitement.
“I’m so happy—the happiest man in the world. I try to help the team any way I can, and every time I step onto the field, I give it my all and come away feeling great.
“Starting like this has been a dream. This isn’t over yet; we’re going to keep going because we have Sunday’s match coming up.

“This is a team effort. All of us who take the field make the most of our opportunities and give it our all,” he began.
Espi keeps making his minutes count
There is a growing pattern to Espi’s involvement. Even though he has yet to start a match for the first team, that has not stopped him from making an impact.
His first goal arrived against Espanyol in Real Madrid’s opening game, when another late strike helped secure the result.
Against Elche, he was required again after Real Madrid surrendered a two-goal lead and suddenly found themselves in serious trouble.
Espi eventually appeared at the back post in the 91st minute and finished the move to give Mourinho’s team all three points.
The youngster shared the credit with his teammates, but he also had special praise for the player who supplied his decisive moment.
That assist came from Kylian Mbappe, whose presence has made Espi’s route into the starting XI particularly difficult.
“It’s unbelievable—it’s crazy to watch him train and play. In this case, he set me up for the goal, and I’m very happy for him, too.”
First Madrid derby already has Espi excited
The timing of Espi’s latest contribution could hardly be more interesting, as Real Madrid now face Atletico Madrid on Sunday, giving the forward an opportunity to experience his first Madrid derby.
“I’m really looking forward to it—I’m so excited. It’s my first derby here, and we’re going to go for it.”
For Mourinho, Espi is a useful option when matches become chaotic. He may not yet be a regular starter, but his two appearances on the scoresheet have carried considerably more weight than the minutes he has played.
