Arsenal has reportedly engaged in discussions with Arda Guler on two occasions, with Real Madrid being approached once more regarding a potential bid for the Premier League after allegedly showing interest and offering a record transfer fee.
In the realm of football transfers, the name Arda Guler has been making waves lately. The young Turkish midfielder, currently a prominent figure at Real Madrid, has been linked with a move to Arsenal. However, it seems the Gunners' summer spending spree might have put a temporary halt on any potential record move.
Arsenal, who splurged on eight new recruits over the summer, are unlikely to make a record move for Guler due to their embarrassment of riches in attack. The North London club has all but committed to their first signing of next summer, Piero Hincapie, with a £45m option to buy.
Despite this, Arsenal have already held talks with Guler over a move. The 20-year-old, who was ranked at no.2 in our website's list of the most exciting teenagers to watch last season, has established himself as one of Real Madrid's most creative players. He played for Real Madrid in the Champions League last night, earning praise for his performance.
Real Madrid are expecting Premier League clubs to bid for Guler for €150 million, according to Defensa Central. However, Florentino Perez, the Real Madrid president, has indicated that he won't accept the touted record bid for Guler. This has led to speculation that Arsenal are planning to pay a club record fee to sign Guler from Real Madrid.
Arda Guler would stylistically most suit Martin Odegaard's role in the Arsenal side, according to football pundits. Meanwhile, Ethan Nwaneri, a promising young talent at Arsenal, has been earmarked as Guler's deputy at the Emirates Stadium.
Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid's manager, has no interest in losing Guler to Mikel Arteta. Alonso favors youth and intensity in the press, as reflected in Guler's starting position. It's worth noting that Guler was named in Alonso's line-up ahead of Jude Bellingham for Real Madrid.
On the domestic front, Arsenal had a successful outing on the same day, beating Athletic Club 2-0 in the early kick-off. Five of Arsenal's new recruits made their Champions League debuts last night, indicating the club's continued focus on youth and talent.
As the transfer saga unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be able to secure Guler's services. With both clubs showing interest, it promises to be an exciting few months for football fans.
