The Turkish international's chances of success at Real Madrid hinge on whether Juventus can secure Champions League qualification in the final Serie A stretch. Inter Milan have already been crowned champions, and the Turin side currently occupy fourth place—still good enough for a spot in Europe's premier competition.
However, they squandered a more favourable position at the weekend, managing only a 1-1 draw at home to relegated Hellas Verona. With three matchdays left, AS Roma have closed the gap to just one point, while Como, three points adrift, remain in contention for that prized Champions League berth.
