Overview
- Football España, citing Fichajes, reports Real Madrid have informed suitors that Arda Guler is not available, attaching a valuation of around €150 million.
- Arsenal are among the clubs tracking the 20-year-old, with Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur also monitoring his situation according to the Spanish reports.
- Arsenal Station relays a Fichajes claim that the Gunners have held talks, but Madrid’s stance includes a reported £130 million price tag and a contract running to 2029.
- Journalist Pete O’Rourke told Football Insider it is probably nearly impossible for Arsenal to sign Guler in January given Madrid’s reluctance to weaken their squad midseason.
- Guler has gained prominence under Xabi Alonso this season, delivering goals and assists after initially limited minutes last year.
