Bundesliga giants a key admirer of Real Madrid playmaker | OneFootball

With the January transfer window just around the corner, the future of Arda Guler has been in focus lately.

Although the Turkish international’s stock has risen in past weeks, the player’s game-time has been far from desirable.

This has led to other clubs eyeing a potential move for Guler in the upcoming January transfer window. As such, he has been linked with various European clubs, including his former employers Fenerbahce.

Leverkusen eye move for Guler

According to Patrick Berger, Bayer Leverkusen have emerged as the latest club to have been linked with a move for Guler.

It appears the Bundesliga giants are a key admirer of the Real Madrid starlet and were, in fact, interested in his services even during his time at Fenerbahce.

Berger does confirm that Real Madrid have no desire to sanction the exit of Guler in the January transfer window as Ancelotti has complete faith in the player.

However, a move could potentially open up next season, especially if the player pushes for more game-time in the first-team.

Leverkusen, in that instance, could make a move for Guler. The Bundesliga champions are already preparing for the exit of Real Madrid target Florian Wirtz, and the Turk, to that end, could be an ideal replacement.

Leverkusen have contacted Guler’s family and agent, but there have been no contacts with Real Madrid as of yet.

It must be noted that a certain Real Madrid star in Dani Carvajal, had a short spell at Leverkusen, before going on to enjoy a world class career at the Bernabeu.

Whether or not Guler follows the same path next season, remains to be seen.
