🚨 Arsenal Launch Shock €30M Bid for Real Madrid Star Arda Güler!
Mikel Arteta targets Turkish wonderkid in a move mirroring Ødegaard’s escape from Madrid — will lightning strike twice?
Here’s the scoop:
Arsenal are making headlines again as they plot a surprise swoop for Real Madrid’s Arda Güler, per reports from Fichajes. The Gunners are said to have placed a €30 million bid on the table for the 20-year-old Turkish playmaker.
Why it’s a big deal:
Güler joined Madrid with huge hype from Fenerbahçe, but injuries and competition have limited him to under 800 La Liga minutes.
Mikel Arteta sees him as an ideal long-term attacking midfield option, possibly following the Martin Ødegaard pathway — another creative star who struggled for time at Madrid before thriving at Arsenal.
Arsenal want more attacking depth, and Güler’s flair, vision, and potential are exactly what Arteta is looking to develop.
The Madrid angle:
Real Madrid still believe in Güler’s talent but might consider a sale if the player pushes for more minutes. The move could be structured with buy-back clauses or future incentives, keeping the door open for his return.
What Güler wants:
While Güler has publicly expressed his desire to succeed at the Bernabéu, he knows time on the pitch is critical at this stage of his development — and Arsenal offers exactly that.
What this means for Arsenal:
If the deal goes through, the Gunners would have another elite young talent to develop — and potentially a long-term partner or successor to Ødegaard. The Champions League ambitions and Arteta’s project could be a huge pull factor.
Would you want Güler starting for Arsenal, or is this more of a lon
g-term project signing?
