Sources close to Arda Guler have delivered a definitive update to TEAMtalk over the future of the Real Madrid sensation, with Arsenal the heaviest linked of a trio of Premier League clubs for the highly-rated Turkey international.
As we’ve previously revealed, Guler is a player long admired by the Gunners, Chelsea and Liverpool, with the trio all making numerous enquiries about the Turkish superstar over the last 12 months.
Guler’s camp were always told by Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez that he was seen as the future of the club and that is how things have played out this term.
He has started 20 games and been a key part of Xabi Alonso’s plans, grabbing three goals and eight assists along the way.

Indeed, Guler wants to commit his future to Real.
We understand that Real are ready to open contact talks with the 20-year-old elite talent. His current deal expires in 2029, but he is now regarded as being on a different level and is going to be rewarded.
In terms of that level, it appears that former Barcelona star Neymar agrees, after speaking recently at a social media event.
The Al-Hilal star admitted: “Arda Güler is an amazing player. He has such quality.
“In my opinion, he is the best midfielder in the world right now.”
Real Madrid have reached a decision on whether or not to sack Xabi Alonso after losing to Barcelona for the fifth time in six contests, three of which were cup finals.
Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly tabled an offer of £52million to sign an incredible Real Madrid attacking talent who can help fill the void left by Mohammed Kudus’ enforced absence.
Finally, Rodri and Manchester City will resume contract talks in the coming months after they were put on hold last year, and with sources opening up to TEAMtalk about the .
