Overview
- Multiple English outlets, citing Spanish site Fichajes, reported Wednesday that Arsenal are preparing an offer of about €90m (£78–80m) for Arda Guler.
- Those reports say initial talks through intermediaries have taken place, though no formal bid has been lodged.
- Real Madrid are described as unwilling to sell, and Guler is not pushing to leave, with his deal running to 2029.
- Coverage highlights a potential coaching change at Madrid, with Jose Mourinho expected, as the factor that could alter the club’s position.
- Guler, 21, logged six goals and 14 assists this season and matches Arsenal’s need for a creative playmaker to support Martin Odegaard.
