Arsenal Step Up Arda Guler Pursuit as Chelsea Make Contact

Real Madrid resist a sale this month, making a summer move more likely.

Overview

  • Reports say Arsenal are working on a potential deal for the 20-year-old playmaker after long-term scouting dating back to 2024.
  • Chelsea have held multiple inquiries to gauge Guler’s situation, positioning themselves alongside Arsenal should an opening arise.
  • Sources indicate Madrid would only consider very high offers, with figures reported around €90–100m and valuations cited near £78–87m, and Guler is under contract until 2029.
  • The player is not currently pushing to leave, though his minutes have fluctuated since joining Real Madrid despite promising output this season.
  • Arsenal’s interest is linked to finding more creativity after uneven form from Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze, with a January transfer viewed as unlikely.
