Real Madrid is willing to lure Chelsea into selling them Enzo Fernandez in the summer by providing Arda Guler in addition to €40 million in cash. Since Real Madrid is prepared to pay €40 million plus Arda Guler for Enzo Fernandez, Fichajes claims that they are prepared to push for his signature. Whether Chelsea is amenable to such a deal is still up in the air, as the Argentine’s ambition will be a factor in any decision.
Real Madrid is searching more and more to add a midfield player following several poor showings this season. Carlo Ancelotti’s team has come under fire for their lack of activity in the center of the field after losing to Arsenal in the Champions League.
Since Toni Kroos left the team last summer, the team hasn’t had much of an advantage, and Luka Modric’s aging is a worry. Real Madrid is more focused on finding a reliable replacement for the retiring German midfielder, even though the latter is still hoping to sign a one-year contract to remain with the team.
Real Madrid launch new bid for Enzo Fernandez
Chelsea may find Guler to be an alluring addition, but it’s likely that the Blues would prefer to sign the Turkey international under a different contract rather than lose Fernández as part of the total package.
Whether this offers Arsenal a leg up in the competition to sign Guler, who hasn’t played frequently while at the Bernabeu, will be interesting to see. According to Football Insider, the Gunners have reportedly been scouting Guler recently. If it appears like Real is open to talking about letting the 20-year-old go, they may make a move.
Guler is an aggressive midfielder with technical skill who can play either centrally or out wide. It’s easy to see him making an impact at Chelsea or Arsenal. Following some erratic performances from players like Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, Noni Madueke, and Jadon Sancho, Enzo Maresca will undoubtedly want to bolster his assault this summer. Guler is probably a good addition.
Guler would also be a good addition to Arsenal’s midfield playmaking lineup as a replacement for Martin Odegaard or as a way to give Bukayo Saka more time off.
