Real Madrid was able to get Jude Bellingham for 103 million euros during the summer transfer window of 2023. They were successful in acquiring his services, beating over Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea when it came to signing him.
In addition, they were a contender for Kylian Mbappe during the summer of 2017. Having informed Paris Saint-Germain of his choice to not renew his contract, the Frenchman was forced to sit out of the game as a result of the same decision.
In addition, Madrid had to contend with the unanticipated departure of Karim Benzema, who moved to Al-Ittihad on a free transfer, and later Marco Asensio, who also went on a Bosman move. Both of these players left Madrid without previous notice.
As a result of all of this, the signing of Arda Guler was one of the transactions that generated a great deal of excitement later on in the window. Because Madrid was able to get his services before Barcelona, there was a great deal of excitement around him. This was one of the reasons why.
With that being said, it seems like Guler’s tenure at Madrid may be coming to an end, if temporarily, after a debut season that was fraught with difficulties.
Existence of the Real Sociedad
Madrid Universal has been told that Real Sociedad, in particular, are interested in signing Guler on loan over the summer. This is despite the fact that a number of clubs are keeping a close watch on an individual.
They hope to replicate the strategy that they used with Takefuso Kubo, in which they originally loaned in the Japanese wonderkid for a season before negotiating a contract with Madrid for him that was worth €6.5 million in 2022.
In addition, Kubo is enjoying an outstanding 2023/24 season, as he has scored seven goals and provided three assists in La Liga during the course of Twenty-three games.
Madrid has faith in Guler
The fact that Madrid has complete faith in Guler and that the youngster will continue to learn and grow while playing for the club is something that Carlo Ancelotti has said on several occasions.
However, things may get much more tricky with Mbappe’s arrival this summer, as Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo will compete for a position on the right flank of the team.
It is possible that Guler may be relegated to even fewer minutes, which, at the age of 19, is not ideal for the growth of any player.
Despite this, Madrid is likely to find the best option for Guler due to the fact that the summer transfer window is still a few months away. Additionally, other clubs are expected to enter the competition for his signing in the near future.
