Arsenal risk losing out to Barcelona in race for talented wonderkid

Arsenal risk losing out on talented youngster

Arsenal’s pursuit of Fenerbahce’s talented youngster Arda Guler is under threat as Barcelona has entered the race with a fresh offer, according to a report.

Initially, Real Madrid seemed to be leading the race for Guler’s signature, but Barcelona’s recent approach has disrupted the transfer saga.

The Catalan club has proposed to pay €20-25 million for the young Turkish in two separate instalments and is willing to send him back to Fenerbahce on a season-long loan deal to satisfy both parties.

Barcelona is also willing to meet Guler’s salary for the upcoming season, which adds to their appeal. To entice the young player, the Spanish giants have offered the 18yo a 20-match guarantee, ensuring regular game-time—a priority for the Turkish talent.

The club’s manager Xavi’s reliance on young players could give them an advantage in meeting Guler’s desire for consistent playing opportunities.

It remains to be seen whether Barcelona’s latest offer will be enough to satisfy both Fenerbahce and Guler, but it poses a risk for Arsenal, who may lose out on the promising prospect.

The Gunners are one of my many who have been monitoring the situation of the young prodigy. But if they don’t move fast in the market for the Wizkid, it might be too late.

DO you think the North London outfit should fight for the signature of Guler?

  1. I hope barcelona waste their money on him and you media stop connecting him to Arsenal like the many other ordinary players at stupid hyped up prices. For instance its now only €20 million euros because its barcelona where as last week it was £40 million for Arsenal. Typical media trying to spend all of Arsenals budget on ordinary players. Most stories with Hyped up prices for Arsenal’s so called targets, originate from anti-Arsenal websites, TBR and 90 minutes or the players own club fan websites.

    1. @daveg this answer is a breath of fresh air. I’ve seen a lot people being bent out of shape due to unsubstantiated claims of Arsenal looking to by every player. The most depressing part is our fellow gooners fall for such misinformation.

  2. Arsenal should start scouting the spanish youth league one more and take advantage of the youth contract restrictions. Remeber Fabrigas! What’s happened to our top scouts.

  3. Heard that Ozil has spoken to Guler and told him not to join Barcelona, dont know how much truth is there in that report. However, he seems to be a great talent and someone who has really a very high potential and ceiling.

  4. Why are we always linked with everyone under the sun? Just goes to show whether haters like it or not in our own way is how agents and clubs use Arsenal’s name to raise their fees up. Some of these players we are being linked with just makes my day 😁

  5. Arsenal must definitely go for the boy. There are so many competitions the team will be in this coming season: FA cup, Carabao cup, UEFA champions league and, the EPL itself.
    Arsenal can’t let this one pass. This is Ozil 2.0, quicker, stronger, younger.
    I think he’s a better investment than even Lavia.
