In a recent report, AS stated that Real Madrid will face stiff competition for Fenerbahce playmaker Arda Guler this summer. It is understood that Los Blancos will have to rival Liverpool, AC Milan and Benfica in pursuit of the Turkish sensation during this summer transfer window.
Guler’s Decent Form In Turkish Football Last Season
Guler enjoyed a great season at the Turkish club as he managed to put in a string of eye-catching performances in the opponent’s half. The 18-year-old found the back of the net on six occasions and earned seven assists in 35 matches for Fenerbahce in the previous campaign across various competitions.
The Turkish sensation proved his worth as a decent performer in the final third by averaging 1.7 shots, 2.0 key passes and 2.0 dribbles per 90 minutes in the Turkish Super Lig. He has even been accurate when distributing possession in the opponent’s half, based on his pass completion rate of 85% in the Turkish top tier (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at the Turkish club is set to run out in the summer of 2025. Therefore, Los Blancos won’t find it easy to win the chase for his services this summer.
Real Madrid Face Stiff Competition For Guler: Is He A Prospect For The Future?
Guler is proficient at finding space for himself to get some strikes in on-target. He has got the vision to create some good plays for others around him in the final third. The Turkish talent can also make a few dangerous runs with the ball toward the opponent’s penalty box. However, Guler needs to find a way to improve his end-product up top if he wants to become an accomplished footballer someday.
Guler is good enough to increase competition for places with Real Madrid‘s matchday squad and could serve as an ideal replacement for Eden Hazard who has failed to justify his worth at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium so far.
Furthermore, an experienced manager like Carlo Ancelotti could be the perfect man to oversee his development at the Madrid club next season. With all things considered, there is no denying that Guler is a prospect to watch out for in the future, so Real Madrid will do well to snap him up this summer.
