Arsenal, one of the powerhouses of the English Premier League, has long been interested in signing Real Madrid's in-form midfielder Arda Güler. However, Arsenal's previous offers in the 80-90 million Euro range were rejected by the Real Madrid management. Yet, recent developments suggest that a different negotiating ground is forming between the two clubs.
Claims have emerged that Real Madrid wants to acquire center-back William Saliba from Arsenal and could offer Arda Güler in a swap deal for this transfer. Reports in the Spanish press state that Saliba, who has drawn attention with his development, has been placed at the top of the list due to the technical staff's desire to strengthen the defense.
While Arsenal is demanding a transfer fee of around 100 million Euros for Saliba, it is suggested that the Spanish side is reluctant to pay this amount but wants to resolve the process by including Arda Güler in the swap. It is being commented that this exchange could be advantageous for both clubs in terms of current squad balance.
Young star Arda Güler was among the key players during the Xabi Alonso era at Real Madrid. However, the fact that Jude Bellingham also plays in the same position prevents Güler from playing in his ideal role. Furthermore, Real Madrid's expected issues in the center-back rotation—due to Militao struggling with injuries and the potential departures of Alaba and Rüdiger at the end of the season—make the club more open to this swap proposal.
Regarding Arda Güler's future, assessments are being made such as, "Real Madrid may give up on Güler to sign Saliba. The Turkish player is not playing in his ideal position because Bellingham plays there; additionally, with Militao's recurring injuries and the likely departures of Alaba and Rüdiger at the end of the season, Real Madrid will have a deficiency in the center-back position."
How the negotiations between the parties will conclude will become clear in the coming days.
