Arsenal’s reported interest in Real Madrid’s rising star Arda Güler has been making headlines, but the Spanish club has made their position on the matter abundantly clear.
According to recent reports, Real Madrid has no intention of parting ways with the highly-rated 18-year-old midfielder, putting an end to rumors of a possible departure.
Güler, who joined Real Madrid during the summer transfer window, has already caught the eye with his impressive skill set, despite limited opportunities in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
Known for his technical ability and vision, the young Turkish international has drawn comparisons to former Real Madrid and Arsenal star Mesut Özil.
This resemblance has further fueled speculation, with Arsenal reportedly keen on bringing him to the Emirates Stadium.
For Arsenal, currently nine points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, the upcoming January transfer window presents a critical chance to strengthen their squad as they aim to close the gap at the top of the table.
Mikel Arteta, who previously secured Martin Ødegaard from Real Madrid in a successful transfer move, may have been hoping for a similar scenario with Güler.
However, Real Madrid appears determined to keep hold of their young talent.
Reports indicate that Carlo Ancelotti views Güler as an integral part of Real Madrid’s future plans.
The club has dismissed any discussions of a transfer, signaling their commitment to developing the young playmaker at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Güler’s potential and performances in limited appearances suggest he could play a significant role for the Spanish giants in the coming years.
With Real Madrid standing firm on their stance, Arsenal may need to shift their focus to alternative creative midfield options as they prepare for the January window.
Arteta’s side is eager to add depth and creativity to their squad in their pursuit of a Premier League title, but prying Güler away from Madrid appears to be an uphill battle.
As the January transfer window draws closer, fans can expect Arsenal to remain active in the market for reinforcements.
However, for now, it seems Arda Güler will stay in Madrid, where he is viewed as a crucial part of Real Madrid’s long-term plans.
While Arsenal’s interest underscores the midfielder’s growing reputation, the Gunners may need to look elsewhere to strengthen their squad and sustain their title challenge in the second half of the season.
