Just In: AC Milan Set to Snatch Arda Güler From Real Madrid – Here’s What You Need to Know

AC Milan have reportedly initiated discussions with Real Madrid about the possibility of securing Arda Güler on loan. The 19-year-old Turkish forward, who has been struggling for consistent playing time at the Bernabéu, is eager for more opportunities on the pitch.

Despite impressing in Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey matches, where he provided assists for Endrick, Güler has played just over 600 minutes in La Liga this season.

Milan, hoping to capitalize on the situation, are eyeing a loan deal with an option to buy, similar to their recent acquisition of Brahim Díaz.

Real Madrid’s Stance on Güler’s Future

Real Madrid remain cautious about letting Güler go permanently, having high hopes for the talented winger’s potential.

While the club acknowledges his desire for more playing time, they are reluctant to part with him permanently and prefer a loan arrangement with a buy-back clause, as seen in their past dealings with Milan.

The club still sees significant growth potential in Güler and aims to ensure that he continues his development.

Challenges in Moving Güler

While Milan and Real Madrid have reportedly had positive discussions, the most significant hurdle is convincing Güler to make the move.

Although he wants more consistent playing time, Güler and his family have expressed a preference for a move to the Premier League or to a club with Champions League football.

Milan’s ability to offer these opportunities will be key in persuading the player to make the switch.

Milan’s Move for Kyle Walker

In a separate but related development, Milan are expected to finalize a loan deal for Kyle Walker from Manchester City, with an option to buy. The experienced English defender will reportedly earn €2 million for the half-season loan, with a potential €4 million per year if the deal becomes permanent.

While Milan already have a wealth of full-back options, this move could be a strategic response to manager Conceição’s anticipated shift to a 4-4-2 formation.

Walker’s versatility might also see him deployed as a centre-back, strengthening Milan’s defensive options.

Beyond tactical reasons, Walker’s leadership qualities and experience in high-pressure situations are expected to bolster Milan’s squad resilience.
