Real Madrid Reportedly Agree New Long-Term Deal With Arda Güler

A reported salary upgrade aims to make him effectively non-transferable in the face of nine-figure interest from Chelsea.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Thursday that Güler and Real Madrid have agreed terms on a long-term renewal that the clubs expect to announce soon.
  • Reports differ on the contract length with some Spanish outlets citing an expiry in 2031 while transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reports the deal runs to June 2032.
  • The new terms are said to include a substantial pay rise for Güler with one report giving a possible net increase from about €2.6m to €4.5m subject to form and starts.
  • Chelsea have been linked with nine-figure offers for the 21-year-old, and the extension comes as Real look to block winter approaches while Fenerbahçe would keep a reported 20% sell-on share of any future profit.
  • Güler’s recent form under José Mourinho — following his establishment under Xabi Alonso, 51 appearances last season and growing influence on the right flank — helps explain why Madrid want to secure him long term and raise his transfer cost.
