Real Madrid pulled off the signing of the decade earlier this summer, luring in Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer. The Frenchman’s arrival, however, does come with its set of implications.
With the former PSG star staking claim as a regular starter in attack, Los Blancos are set to deploy a change in formation for next season.
Word has it that they will revert to a three-man midfield with Jude Bellingham dropping as an interior.
Needless to say, this comes as bad news for the team’s young phenom Arda Guler. The Turkish star found it difficult to see minutes last season, and with one less spot up for grabs next season, his situation appears complicated.
Liverpool are alert
As revealed in a recent update from Turkish Football, Liverpool have their eyes on the young starlet. They are aware of his difficult situation in Madrid and hope to strike when the iron is hot.
The Reds have already made their enquiries on the starlet and are even preparing to make an offer as revealed by the Turkish outlet. After all, Guler has been in fine form for club and country.
Playing at the recently concluded Euros, he racked up one goal and two assists for his side in just four starts with a whopping 1.6 key passes per game.
Real Madrid’s stance
Guler’s sensational displays at the Euros have not gone unnoticed by those at Real Madrid. The administration has never had any doubts over his potential and sees him as an important piece in the club’s future plans.
As it stands, Los Blancos are completely opposed to a departure and will only sanction an exit on loan if need be.
Liverpool, however, hope to tempt Guler with the promise of minutes and sign him for the long term.
The coming weeks will be critical in deciding where the youngster will play next season. The team’s pre-season tour in the US will play a big role.
