Real Madrid’s young talent Arda Güler is fast becoming one of the most coveted names in European football.

At just 20 years old, the Turkish playmaker has already showcased the kind of technical brilliance and creativity that has long been associated with the game’s elite.

Now, several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, are stepping up their pursuit of one of football’s brightest emerging stars, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

The 20-year-old is widely regarded as a player with world-class potential, having been described as “exceptional” by one of his former coaches in Marca, as quoted by BBC Sport.

Liverpool lead the race to sign Arda Guler

Among his suitors, Liverpool are the most active. With uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah’s long-term future and Arne Slot keen to add more creativity to his attack, Güler is seen as a perfect fit.

His versatility, able to play as a right winger, attacking midfielder, or central creator, makes him an ideal candidate for Liverpool’s evolving system.

The Reds’ scouts have tracked Güler closely this season and are impressed by his balance between flair and tactical discipline.

Slot is believed to be a fan of his directness and vision in tight spaces, seeing him as a potential long-term replacement in the frontline.

Man United are also monitoring the young midfielder, with reports suggesting that Rúben Amorim has identified Güler as a priority target for next summer.

United’s midfield has struggled for creativity and consistency, and Amorim sees the Turkish international as a player capable of adding dynamism and precision.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have maintained long-standing interest in Güler, fitting perfectly into Mikel Arteta’s project of developing young, high-IQ players.

Sources close to the Emirates claim that Arsenal’s recruitment team view him as an alternative to Martin Ødegaard, or even a complementary piece in a more fluid attacking setup.

Real Madrid, however, remain firm. They have no intention of letting Güler go easily. The club’s hierarchy is said to value him as part of their long-term core alongside Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and Vinícius Júnior.

Still, with interest mounting from England and potentially a major bid looming in the summer, Los Blancos may face a test of their resolve.
