According to a news report from Spain, Real Madrid, which had previously stated that Arda Güler was "not for sale," has now brought up the idea of a trade. It has been suggested that the purple-white team wants to use Arda Güler to transfer William Saliba from Arsenal.
It is known that Arsenal has been gauging Real Madrid's interest in adding Arda Güler to their squad for some time. The report stated that the London club is ready to go up to the range of 80-90 million euros for the national player and is maintaining its pressure.
REAL MADRID'S "SWAP" FORMULA
According to claims, Real Madrid had previously closed the door on Arda Güler's departure. However, with the latest development, it was noted that the Madrid team made a striking offer to Arsenal.
It was suggested that the purple-and-white team wants to include Arda Güler in a swap package to transfer Arsenal's defender William Saliba.
"THEY MAY GIVE UP ON GÜLER FOR SALIBA"
The evaluation in the report stated that Real Madrid might not oppose giving up on Arda Güler to add Saliba to their squad. Arda's role within the team and the positional competition also emerged as important details in this scenario.
DEFENSIVE LINE PLANNING WAS EFFECTIVE
It was emphasized that one of the main reasons for Real Madrid's move is the planning of the defensive line. According to claims, due to Militao's recurring injuries and the possibility of Alaba and Rüdiger leaving at the end of the season, it was assessed that Real Madrid could be lacking in the center-back area, making the transfer of Saliba a priority.
