Bayer Leverkusen are keeping a close eye on Real Madrid’s Turkish prodigy Arda Güler as part of a possible swap deal for Florian Wirtz. An announcement that has Merengues fans increasingly counting on the Turkish nugget.
One of Real Madrid’s most eagerly-awaited revelations could already be on his way out. According to several German media reports, Bayer Leverkusen are considering including Arda Güler in a deal involving Florian Wirtz, the German nugget coveted by the Merengues. The Bundesliga club have admired Arda Güler’s talent since his early days at Fenerbahçe. However, with a contract running until 2029 at Real Madrid, the young Turk is limited in terms of playing time, a situation that could prompt the two clubs to negotiate a loan deal or an exchange as early as next summer.

In any case, Florian Wirtz, regarded as one of Europe’s most promising young talents, is tipped to join Real Madrid next summer. Bayer Leverkusen, aware of their player’s attractiveness to the likes of Real Madrid, are looking to capitalise on this situation by demanding a substantial quid pro quo. Arda Güler represents an ideal target for Bayer, as his potential and desire to play more regularly make him a key element in these discussions.

This scenario is reminiscent of the one involving Dani Carvajal, who left Real Madrid for Bayer Leverkusen before making a comeback and becoming a key figure at the Bernabeu. According to somosfanaticos, the Madrid club could apply a similar strategy with Arda Güler, allowing the player to blossom before a return to La Liga.

While Carlo Ancelotti enjoys a positive relationship with Arda Güler, the young midfielder’s lack of game time could complicate matters. The fans, meanwhile, are worried about the departure of a player who symbolises the club’s future. Bayer Leverkusen, for their part, have already begun talks with the player’s entourage to assess his intentions, according to the same sources.
Although official negotiations with Real Madrid have not yet begun, the matter could rapidly accelerate depending on the performances and needs of the two clubs. For the time being, Real Madrid remain committed to Arda Güler and have no plans to part with him during the winter transfer window. But the summer could prove decisive, especially if the player demands more responsibility.
