ARDA GULER TO ENGLAND? PREMIER LEAGUE DIRECTOR CONFIRMS INTEREST IN REAL MADRID'S OUT-OF-FAVOUR PLAYMAKER, DESPITE STAR'S DESIRE TO REMAIN IN SPAIN
The future of Real Madrid’s teenage sensation Arda Güler has taken an intriguing turn, with a Premier League director publicly confirming English interest in the Turkish playmaker—despite the player’s stated desire to remain in Spain.
Premier League Interest Confirmed
Speaking at a league event in London, a high-ranking Premier League executive acknowledged Güler’s growing appeal among English clubs: "He's a special talent who fits the profile many teams are looking for – creative, technically gifted, and with huge potential. Several clubs have asked about his situation." While not naming specific suitors, the admission confirms what many in European football circles have suspected—that England’s top clubs are monitoring Güler’s limited minutes at the Bernabéu.
Güler’s Frustrating Madrid Stint
Since joining Real Madrid from Fenerbahçe last summer for €20 million (plus €10m in add-ons), the 19-year-old has struggled for consistent playing time under Carlo Ancelotti. Despite flashes of brilliance—including a stunning La Liga debut goal against Real Sociedad—Güler has started just twice across all competitions, often overshadowed by Madrid’s star-studded midfield.
His agent recently told Marca: "Arda wants to succeed at Madrid. He’s learning from the best every day. But at his age, regular minutes are crucial for development." This delicate balance between patience and pragmatism has put Europe’s elite on alert.
Who Could Make a Move?
Arsenal: Mikel Arteta admires left-footed playmakers, and Güler could thrive in their fluid attack.
Brighton: The Seagulls’ track record with young talents (Caicedo, Mitoma) makes them a logical destination.
Newcastle: Seeking creative depth, Eddie Howe’s project might appeal if European football is secured.
Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou’s system values technical midfielders who can progress the ball.
Madrid’s Stance: Loan or Permanent Sale?
While Madrid reportedly still believe in Güler’s potential, they may consider a loan to accelerate his growth. However, a permanent deal isn’t off the table for the right price—especially if Kylian Mbappé’s arrival further limits opportunities.
What’s Next?
Güler’s camp faces a dilemma: wait for a Madrid breakthrough or seek immediate playing time elsewhere. As the summer window approaches, his situation could become one of the most intriguing sagas—a battle between player loyalty and career pragmatism.
Key Points:
Premier League clubs are actively tracking Güler’s availability.
Madrid open to loan but may sell for the right offer.
Arsenal, Brighton among potential fits for his skillset.
Decision hinges on balancing development with elite club prestige.
