Aston Villa have set their sights on a summer move for Arda Guler, as the Real Madrid playmaker endures a frustrating spell with limited game time at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Villa’s Interest in the Turkish Star
According to a report by Fichajes, Aston Villa are eyeing Real Madrid’s 20-year-old attacking midfielder Arda Guler. Despite his immense talent, Guler has struggled for minutes under Carlo Ancelotti, sparking speculation about his future.
Monchi, Villa’s sporting director, has been instrumental in securing high-profile signings for Unai Emery’s squad. His influence could once again prove crucial as the club looks to inject creativity into the midfield. While Morgan Rogers has been utilised in an advanced role, Villa are keen to find a more natural playmaker, with Guler emerging as a prime candidate.
Competition for Guler’s Signature
Aston Villa aren’t alone in their pursuit. Real Sociedad have expressed interest in a loan move, while Bayern Munich and several Premier League clubs are also monitoring the situation. There were even talks of a potential winter departure, but Real Madrid ultimately retained him.
Can Villa Secure a Deal?
While Villa may test the waters with an offer, convincing Real Madrid to part ways permanently with Guler seems unlikely. Los Blancos still believe in his potential and are willing to be patient with his development. However, if Guler pushes for more regular football, a loan move could be a viable option, giving Aston Villa a realistic shot at securing his services for next season.
