Arsenal made Real Madrid a €45 million bid for their 19-year-old wonderkid Arda Guler. Arsenal was hoping to get the gifted midfielder. However, Real Madrid is not going to sell him just now. The Spanish giants only think about a loan transfer to help him grow, claims Fichajes. Arda Guler was acquired by Real Madrid from Fenerbahce over the summer. Their payment for the youthful talent was not much. President of Real Madrid Florentino Perez recognized promise in Guler and granted the player’s team permission to pay an extra amount to help Fenerbahce.

Though Guler was sought after by other teams, Perez saw him as essential to Real Madrid’s future. Even with his little playing time since his arrival, Guler has showed signs of promise. Out of his four goals, three came in his previous four games. Arsenal’s latest offer demonstrates their desire in a young, developing offensive midfielder. They have shown curiosity in Xavi Simons as well. Real Madrid, however, turned down the deal. They said that they don’t want to trade Guler this summer or most likely next. The Spanish team is not trying to turn a fast buck off of a player who has had injury problems this season. They should think about loaning him out instead to support his growth.
