In recent weeks, the future of Arda Guler at Real Madrid has been the subject of much speculation.
In fact, transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that two clubs outside Spain recently expressed interest in acquiring the young Turkish midfielder.
According to the journalist, at least two clubs approached Real Madrid regarding Guler in the past month. Despite this interest, though, Real Madrid have firmly declined all offers.
It is said that several clubs were keen to secure Guler on a loan deal, but Madrid have consistently maintained their stance of not entertaining any such proposals.
The club sees Guler as a valuable long-term asset and has no intention of selling or loaning him out. They believe they have signed a player with immense potential and are committed to his development within the team.
Lack of game time
There were rumours suggesting that Guler, due to limited playing time and a perceived lack of trust from manager Carlo Ancelotti, might consider a loan move in the upcoming January transfer window.
This speculation led to multiple inquiries from top clubs across Europe, including Arsenal. However, Real Madrid have made it clear that Guler is not available for any temporary or permanent move, especially in light of the club’s ongoing injury concerns.
As the season progresses, Real Madrid face a packed fixture schedule that will demand squad depth and rotation. In this context, retaining Guler could prove to be crucial.
Even if he does not secure regular starts, his presence provides additional options for Ancelotti, particularly during the challenging periods when injuries and fatigue take a toll on the squad.
Real Madrid’s decision underscores their faith in Guler’s abilities and their long-term plans for him. The 19-year-old remains an integral part of the club’s future, and the management is determined to nurture his talent within their ranks.
For now, Guler’s journey continues at the Santiago Bernabeu, with the club focused on integrating him further into their plans.
