Arsenal are targeting a blockbuster summer move for Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler, with the Spanish giants digging in over their prized 21-year-old asset.
Reports from Spain indicate that Real Madrid would reject any offer for Guler, even if a bid reaching €100 million were placed on the table.
Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have both been identified as clubs prepared to test Real Madrid’s resolve with an approach in the coming weeks.
Chelsea have also been linked with the talented Turkish international, making the situation one of the most closely watched transfer sagas of the summer window.
Guler recorded six goals and 14 assists last season, underlining his growing influence as one of the most exciting young players in European football.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has long sought additional creativity in the final third, and Guler’s ability to operate centrally and out wide fits the profile perfectly.
The Turkish international’s technical ability and unpredictability would add a new dimension to Arsenal’s attacking unit as they look to build on their Premier League title.
PSG, meanwhile, have won the UEFA Champions League in consecutive seasons and are determined to maintain their grip on European football by landing elite young talent.
Real Madrid are focused on assembling a formidable squad of their own and have made it abundantly clear they have no intention of parting ways with Guler under any circumstances.
Guler is currently representing Turkey at the World Cup, where he will be hoping to enhance his reputation further on the biggest international stage in football.
Both Arsenal and PSG will be monitoring his performances closely, with a formal bid potentially arriving once the tournament concludes later this summer.
With Real Madrid’s stance unlikely to soften easily, any club wishing to secure his signature will need to push hard in negotiations to have any realistic chance of success.
