Arsenal has a history of benefiting from loan deals with Real Madrid, with players like Julio Baptista and Martin Odegaard leaving a significant mark during their time at the Emirates. This track record may have inspired the Gunners’ interest in Arda Güler, the highly-rated Turkish midfielder who has struggled for game time at Madrid despite showing promise whenever he takes the field.

Real Madrid, often considered the biggest club in the world, boasts incredible depth in every position, making it challenging for young talents like Güler to break into the first team consistently. With numerous world-class players ahead of him in the pecking order, it’s understandable why Güler has limited opportunities. However, Arsenal believed that offering him a loan spell could benefit all parties—providing the player with valuable minutes, helping Madrid ensure his development, and strengthening Arsenal’s squad for the second half of the season.

Despite the appeal of such a move, Real Madrid has reportedly rejected Arsenal’s proposal. According to Defensa Central, the Spanish club has no intention of sending Güler out on loan to Arsenal or any other club. Madrid remains committed to keeping the youngster within their setup, suggesting that they view his future as integral to their plans.

For Arsenal, this development is disappointing. Güler would have brought flair, creativity, and youthful energy to their midfield, offering a fresh dimension to Mikel Arteta’s team. However, with Madrid’s firm stance, the Gunners must now redirect their efforts toward other targets as the January transfer window approaches.

While it’s a setback, Arsenal’s interest in Güler reflects their commitment to identifying and pursuing top-tier talent. For now, Madrid’s decision leaves little room for negotiation, and Arsenal will have to respect their resolve to keep the promising midfielder at the Bernabéu.

  1. Am afraid, like Odegaard and so many before, this kid will soon realize he’s in the grave yard of talent.

    Wake up and smell the coffee kid!

    1. On the contrary, most of the players who leave RM don’t want to even when they can’t get game time – which many don’t given the huge competition for places.

      As for the “graveyard of talent” – do a quick check of trophies in, say, the last decade. I wish Arsenal was a similar “graveyard”, but little chance of that. Being part of that, even if it’s a very slim prospect, is enough to keep many players there.
