Premier League Clubs Prepare Record Bid for Arda Güler

The Turkish star has become a key player for Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid, attracting serious attention from England.
Few have believed in Arda Güler as much as Xabi Alonso. Under the Basque coach, the young Turkish midfielder has gone from playing only a few minutes with Carlo Ancelotti to becoming a regular starter and one of the most influential players in Real Madrid’s midfield.
It’s something Alonso himself acknowledged during a press conference only weeks after taking charge of the team.
“This is the process he has to go through. We know he’ll make mistakes, but also great plays. Now is the time to invest in his progress and development. Arda can play close to the double pivot or move further forward — he’s doing well. We’re pushing him to grow, to mature, and to accept that mistakes are part of becoming an important player in that area. He has great qualities, must stay close to the ball, and has a wide range of passing. We play better with him. Expectations are high, but we must help him grow,” said Xabi Alonso.

Premier League Clubs on Alert
Alonso’s faith — backed up by consistent performances, goals, and key assists — has made Güler one of the revelations of the season. His maturity and technical brilliance at just 19 have not gone unnoticed across Europe.
According to recent reports, several Premier League clubs — including Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur — are monitoring Güler closely. These teams, known for investing in young talent, are reportedly preparing offers that could reach record figures for a Turkish player.
But they’re not alone. AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig are also following his progress with great interest.
However, both Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez have made it clear within the Real Madrid hierarchy: Arda Güler is untouchable. The club sees him as a long-term pillar of the project under Xabi Alonso and has no plans to negotiate his transfer — regardless of the size of the offer.
