According to reports in Spanish media, Newcastle United are interested in Real Madrid teenager Arda Guler ahead of the summer transfer season.
The 19-year-old only joined the Spanish league leaders last summer, and his debut season in La Liga has been plagued by injuries.
According to Defensa Central, Newcastle United are ‘willing to pay up to €50 million’ for the Turkish international as Eddie Howe prepares for next season.
With European football still a possibility, the Magpies will aim to strengthen their team this summer, and Guler might be an option. According to reports, Newcastle are monitoring Guler’s situation in Spain and may make a bid around that level.
Due to injuries since joining Real Madrid, it has been reported that they may want to transfer him this summer if the proper deal comes in. However, Carlo Ancelotti has lately stated that the attacker is part of his future plans, and Guler returned his manager’s faith in him by scoring over the weekend.
He has made only eight appearances for Real Madrid this season, scoring two goals, and is committed the club until June 2029.
Arda Guler has been the subject of a lot of speculation for a time now, and that wouldn’t be complete without the expected Premier League interest.
Newcastle United should consider this as another evidence of their newfound market dominance.
