Transfermarkt reveals the 2 clubs that most want the loan of Arda Güler, the jewel of Real Madrid.
Premier League Clubs Lead the Race for Arda Güler’s Loan, with Bayer Leverkusen and Fenerbahçe Interested
Real Madrid has encountered a significant issue regarding the management of its young talents, with Carlo Ancelotti’s handling of the squad creating tension over the club’s transfer policies. The club has been keen on promoting young prospects to the first team, but Ancelotti has been reluctant to give them consistent playing time.
The most notable examples of this dynamic are Arda Güler and Endrick. The Brazilian forward’s opportunities are mostly limited to Copa del Rey matches and brief moments in La Liga and Champions League fixtures, while the situation for Turkish ’15’ Güler is even more striking.
Güler started in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals at Reale Arena after Ancelotti made specific comments about his role and environment. Rumors about his potential departure from the Santiago Bernabéu this summer have only heightened the tension, especially considering his modest performances when given the chance.
Decision Point
The majority of clubs interested in Güler are based in the Premier League, where the Turkish talent could potentially develop further by getting more minutes and confidence from a new manager. However, interest extends beyond the English clubs.
According to Transfermarkt, Bayer Leverkusen and Fenerbahçe are the two top clubs vying for Güler’s services. The popular football statistics site reports that Leverkusen has a 50% chance of securing the loan, while the Turkish club from where Güler originally came has a 14% likelihood.
Decision on Hold
Güler’s potential departure from Real Madrid stems from his search for more playing time, something that seems lacking under Ancelotti’s tactical system. Ancelotti’s contract runs until the summer of 2026, but there is speculation about his departure at the end of this season. If the Italian manager leaves, Güler’s camp would likely reassess his situation at the club.
Much depends on the opinion of a new manager, and Güler would be open to staying at Real Madrid, especially if Xabi Alonso were to replace Ancelotti. However, several media outlets and journalists have pointed out that the “Güler case” is far from being resolved.
Real Madrid and Güler are expected to meet at the end of the season to discuss his future. During this summit, the player will receive insight into the club’s plans for the upcoming season, after which he will make a decision. His potential departure would be shaped by a sporting management that doesn’t want to part ways with him, meaning a loan move appears to be the most suitable solution to this growing issue.
