“They waited until i scouted this player before they tabled a huge bid for him, that is typically how Arsenal behave”- Chelsea Boss Liam Rosenior revealed his anger after Arsenal demolished Chelseas plans by completing a huge £100 double deal for attacking Midfielder and Enzo Fernandez Replacement
Both Arsenal and Chelsea are actively positioning themselves to land Arda Guler should Real Madrid decide to part with the talented playmaker.
According to my exclusive reporting in the Daily Briefing, the Gunners have tracked Guler for an extended period, while the Blues have recently made several inquiries about his availability.
The Turkish midfielder has been on Arsenal’s watchlist since at least October 2024, and he could provide a valuable boost given the inconsistent performances from both Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze this campaign.
Chelsea are equally determined to stay in contention for Guler’s signature, with both London clubs believing he could be secured for approximately €90-100 million this summer.
**Arda Guler transfer saga: Arsenal vs Chelsea battle looms**
When discussing Guler’s situation, sources connected to the agents’ community indicated the player currently has no desire to depart the Bernabeu.
Nevertheless, both Arsenal and Chelsea continue tracking the Turkish international amid speculation that Madrid might consider selling for the right offer this summer.
“Arsenal remain interested in Arda Guler,” one source confirmed. “The difficulty would be convincing the player himself, as he’s not currently looking to leave Real Madrid.”
“This definitely won’t happen in January, but come summer – Real would likely seriously consider an offer of €90-100 million,” another source revealed.
**Which London club suits Arda Guler better?**
Guler appears capable of contributing at numerous elite clubs, and Arsenal’s current shortage of midfield creativity could see him secure an important role at the Emirates.
That said, Chelsea’s recent focus on acquiring and nurturing exceptional young prospects might also appeal to the 20-year-old.
Guler has recorded four goals and twelve assists across all competitions for Real Madrid, including last summer’s Club World Cup. With more consistent minutes and additional experience, he could develop into a truly special player.
