Arda Güler, the highly-rated teenager who moved from Fenerbahçe to Real Madrid at the beginning of the season, finds himself at the center of transfer speculation.
Spanish media outlet Defensa Central has floated two possible scenarios for Güler’s future.
The report suggests German powerhouse Bayern Munich is interested in the 19-year-old midfielder and could offer Real Madrid €40 million for his services.
Turkish-Football have reported that Guler has turned down all offers and he wants to prove himself at Real Madrid fighting for his place in the team.
Guler was linked with a Real exit due to lack of playing time but he did miss the first half of the season with injury and has been gradually eased back into the team since.
Real manager Carlo Ancelotti and the club board have so backed Guler to do well at the Spanish giants and have not indicated that they want him to leave any time soon.
However, if a major club like Bayern comes knocking it could force Guler to take the offer seriously.
Defensa Central also proposes a potential loan deal involving Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz. Real Madrid might offer €50 million for the 21-year-old German wonderkid and include Güler on loan as part of the deal.
It’s important to note that these are just rumors at this stage. Güler’s future will likely depend on his playing time at Real Madrid and his performance in upcoming matches.
The latest developments come just as Guler has started gaining more playing time, he also recently scored his first goal for Real and has been called up to the Turkish national team again.
