Shock in Turkey: Manchester City Eyes Arda Güler as De Bruyne’s Successor

In a surprising twist, news from Turkey reveals that Manchester City is considering a move to replace Kevin De Bruyne with Arda Güler, the young Real Madrid talent. This report has raised eyebrows, especially as many fans are calling for Güler to see more playing time under Carlo Ancelotti at Madrid.

According to Fanatik, Manchester City views the 19-year-old Turkish left-footer as the potential heir to De Bruyne, whose contract with the club runs until June 2025. As De Bruyne’s future at City grows uncertain with each passing day, the club is preparing for a transition, and Arda Güler has caught their eye as a key figure in that process.

The report highlights that “Arda Güler could change direction at the end of the season if he doesn’t get the expected playing time at Madrid.” With Manchester City reportedly interested, there is growing pressure in Turkey for Güler to become a regular starter in elite football.

Guardiola’s Involvement

Pep Guardiola is reportedly aware of the situation, and Manchester City sees Güler as a long-term investment. Fanatik also mentions that De Bruyne could be tempted by a move to MLS, further fueling the idea of Güler stepping in as his successor.

Despite the rumors, Arda Güler has repeatedly expressed his desire to stay at Real Madrid, and the club sees him as a strategic signing for the future. However, in Turkey, many believe that the player’s future could shift dramatically if things remain unchanged by 2025.

Whether or not the Manchester City offer will become a reality, Güler’s potential and City’s interest highlight the growing anticipation around his career trajectory.
