Manchester United and Liverpool are very interested in a Real Madrid prodigy, as the winter transfer window opens its doors in less than a month.
Having arrived in summer 2023 at Real Madrid, Arda Guler was initially a rotation player, but started to take up space from last season. For this new campaign, Xabi Alonso decided to trust the Turkish playmaker. Thus, he has mainly played in a number 10 role and has shown himself effective with three goals and seven assists in 21 matches played.
At only 20 years old, his potential inevitably attracts other European heavyweights. According to Caught Offside, the Real Madrid gem is notably courted in the Premier League. Whilst Arsenal‘s interest was already known, Manchester United and Liverpool are new suitors.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool target Arda Guler
These three English sides are intensifying “their efforts to secure the services of one of football's most promising prospects”, the British outlet indicate. The Reds, who have made the decision to part with Mohamed Salah this winter, would reportedly be the most active in this case.
Arne Slot will therefore want to replace his Egyptian star and wants to bring more creativity to his attacking sector. Florian Wirtz, who was expected in this area, has disappointed since his arrival. Arda Guler, who can play in midfield or on a wing, would thus be the ideal reinforcement for Liverpool.
Real Madrid consider Arda Guler “as an essential element”
For his part, Ruben Amorim “has made Guler a priority target for next summer” and Manchester United are also closely following his performances. Seeking reinforcements in midfield, the Red Devils are won over by the Madrid player's profile, who could bring all his dynamism.
Regarding Arsenal, Mikel Arteta sees the Turkey international as an alternative to Martin Odegaard and as an additional attacking element to add to his attacking rotation. However, Real Madrid have no intention of letting Arda Guler leave, who is considered “as an essential element of their long-term core”.
