While Real Madrid aren’t prioritizing a move for Kılıçsoy at the moment, they are monitoring his progress alongside interest from Premier League clubs.
Last season, Kılıçsoy showcased his potential with 12 goals and 3 assists in 35 appearances for Beşiktaş.
Signed with Beşiktaş until 2028, Kılıçsoy’s current market value sits at €12 million.
Besiktas hope to keep the 18-year-old striker on for another season unless they receive an offer too good to refuse.
The Black-Whites are plan to rebuild the squad and make a title challenge this season under the management of newly appointed Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
This development highlights Kılıçsoy’s talent and the potential for a future move to a major European club.
The striker was called up for the Turkish national team squad for Euro 2024 this summer but only made a brief appearance.
He has been a star player for the Black Eagles and hopes to become a regular for the senior national team.
The striker would be joining Arda Guler at Real if he were to make the move.
