The young Turkish star is considering the possibility of leaving Real Madrid after only being on the field for 307 minutes this season, with Manchester United being the most talked about energy destination.
Arda Guler’s future at Real Madrid is becoming a hot topic in the transfer market as the young Turkish midfielder appears dissatisfied with his limited playing time under coach Carlo Ancelotti.
According to a report from Diario SPORT, the 19-year-old is gradually losing his fight and is attracted by the possibility of a move to the Premier League, especially Manchester United. Although initially reluctant to leave Real Madrid during the winter transfer window, Guler is now more open to finding new opportunities.
Statistics listed since joining Real Madrid in 2023, Guler has only had 307 minutes of play in 17 matches this season. This number is considered too small for a young talent who just shone brightly at the most recent European Championship.
Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha voiced his support for Guler joining Old Trafford. In an interview with Boyle Sports, Saha shared: “Manchester United can give him many opportunities, especially more playing time at Real Madrid. United is in need of bright players.” Creativity and play freely, something that Guler can hardly show in Madrid.”
Saha is also particularly impressed with Guler’s intelligence in his playing style and believes that the loan contract can help this young star develop more comprehensively, especially after his impressive performance at the Euro.
Guler currently has a contract with Real Madrid until 2029 with a contract break clause of up to 1 billion euros. At this price, loaning the player is considered the most feasible option for any club wanting to get his signature.
The Spanish Royal Team is said to have no intention of selling Guler, but they may consider a loan option to help this young talent have more opportunities to play and develop. This opens up an opportunity for Manchester United to find this player on loan in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Guler joined Real Madrid from Fenerbahce in 2023 after making a strong impression in the Turkish National Championship. Despite some injury problems at the end of 2023, the young midfielder had an impressive performance for Real Madrid at the beginning of 2024 with 6 goals in 12 matches, a total of 440 minutes of play.
With Manchester United needing to add energy to their creative midfield, Guler’s appearance could be a consideration for the Old Trafford team in their efforts to improve their performance in the second half of this season. .
