Real Madrid had a very successful transfer window this summer, managing to keep key first-team players and at the same time strengthening with the names Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, Franco Mastantuono and Álvaro Carreras. Rodrygo Goes was close to a move to the Premier League or Bayern Munich, while there was also interest in Arda Guler.
Guler had two difficult seasons at Madrid, but with the arrival of Xabi Alonso as coach, he has flourished. If Carlo Ancelotti had stayed, there was a possibility that he would have left, with several clubs considering luring him away from the Santiago Bernabéu.
One of them was Arsenal, who have been following Guler for some time. Most recently, according to Caught Offside, they have rekindled their interest, and along with London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, have been scouting Real’s creative midfielder in recent weeks.
In addition to Arsenal and Tottenham, scouts from Newcastle United, Milan, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have also been spotted at the La Liga match. These clubs believe that there could be opportunities to approach Guler in 2026 if his role at Madrid is reduced following the return of Jude Bellingham from shoulder surgery.
However, Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso are clear: Guler is not for sale. The report states that the club “have made their position clear, Arda is not on the market. There is no price, as he is seen as an investment in sporting success and long-term strategy.”
The decision seems more than logical for Real Madrid, as Guler has excelled this season, and was even the team’s brightest spot in the recent defeat in the Madrid derby./Express newspaper/
