Arda Güler Reveals Key Condition for Potential Manchester City Move
In a highly anticipated press conference, rising star Arda Güler addressed speculation about a possible move to Manchester City, revealing the one condition that could influence his decision.
The Turkish midfielder, who has drawn interest from top European clubs, emphasized that his priority remains his development as a player. “My decision to leave Real Madrid will depend on my desire to continue growing,” Güler stated, making it clear that regular playing time and opportunities to progress will be the key factors in any potential transfer.
With competition for midfield spots at Real Madrid fierce, Güler’s future remains uncertain. If he feels his development is being hindered, a move—potentially to Pep Guardiola’s City—could become a serious consideration by January.
Arda Güler Sets Clear Condition for Manchester City Move
Arda Güler has addressed speculation about his future, making it clear that he would only consider a move to Manchester City under one condition: a guaranteed place in the starting XI.
“I’m open to various options, but there’s one condition that would make me consider Manchester City’s offer: I must be guaranteed a place in the starting XI,” Güler stated. “I want to play regularly and be part of a project where I can grow and contribute from the first minute.”
Despite his immense talent and technical brilliance, the 19-year-old has struggled for consistent game time at Real Madrid due to stiff competition in midfield. As he looks for more opportunities, Manchester City has emerged as a potential destination. However, Güler’s demand for a guaranteed starting role could complicate negotiations.
Sources close to the player suggest that securing regular minutes is a top priority, especially as he aims to cement his spot in Turkey’s national team for upcoming international tournaments. While City has expressed interest, Pep Guardiola’s squad rotation and an already stacked midfield—including Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Jack Grealish—make a guaranteed starting position uncertain.
“I’m ready for the next step in my career, but I need to be certain that I’ll be able to contribute immediately,” Güler emphasized. “I respect every club’s plans, but my primary goal is to play.”
With talks reportedly underway between City and Real Madrid, the key question remains: Will Guardiola be willing to promise Güler a starting role? As January approaches, the midfielder’s future hangs in the balance, with his demand for consistent playing time shaping the outcome of any potential transfer.
