Arsenal and Chelsea are keen to position themselves as front-runners in the chase for Arda Guler should the Real Madrid star become available.
According to Caught Offside, Arsenal and Chelsea are working towards becoming the front-runners in the Arda Guler race should the Real Madrid playmaker become available. The Spanish giants might reportedly consider talking to suitors if an offer in the region of €90-100 million arrives on their table, as the Premier League duo are alert to the case.
Arda Guler is steadily becoming one of the prominent names in this Real Madrid side, despite the presence of some high-profile players in the squad. The Turkish international was signed from Fenerbahce, and after his initial struggles, he has established himself as a key name in the team.
Good performances often attract suitors, and in Guler’s case, there are some high-profile Premier League teams keeping close tabs on his situation. Florentino Perez has not indicated any desire to entertain offers for the 20-year-old Real Madrid prodigy, but things could change if an actual approach lands on his table.
Chelsea are the latest team to enter the frame for Guler, as they have been looking for the best young talent from around. The 20-year-old Real Madrid prodigy certainly fits into the category of players the Blues would want for their project, while they have shown in the past a knack for playing big for the right players.
Arsenal have been keen on Guler for some time now, as there are rumblings around the club about seeking a new central midfielder in the summer. The report states, the 20-year-old Real Madrid prodigy could be a target owing to the below-par performances of Eberechi Eze and Martin Odegaard this term, although he may be looked at as a separate signing with Mikel Arteta reportedly pushing to sign him.
Real Madrid to consider Arda Guler approaches?
As per the report, Real Madrid are not interested in selling Guler at the moment, nor is the player angling to leave. However, should the club and Perez receive offers from the likes of Chelsea or Arsenal in the €90-100 million range, they might study the idea before taking a call.
Arsenal and Chelsea are alert to the situation of Guler, and are looking to make themselves as front runners in the chase. There could be other clubs in the mix should Real Madrid make him available for a transfer; however, for now, the Turkish international remains an established presence at the Santiago Bernabeu.
