Real Madrid signs Turkish Arda Gular
The signing of attacking midfielder, may push the departure of Federico Valverde, who play at the same position as Guler.
According to El Nacional, the player could be fired this summer when Guler joins Los Blancos. Valverde has remained under Carlo Ancelotti for the last two seasons. The 24-year-old Uruguay international has 13 goals and nine assists in 102 games across competitions since the start of the 2021-22 season. However, he could now be considered expendable.
Kroos, Modric's contact to renew
Real Madrid have renewed Toni Kroos and Luka Modric's contracts for another year and marked Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund. Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos and Eduardo Camavinga are three more choices in central midfield.
Additionally, Guler's entry may see Valverde pushed out of the group. The 18-year-old Turkish playmaker was marked from Fenerbahce prior this month for €30 million with add-ons.
Club president Florentino Perez sees Guler as a portion of Los Blancos first-team plans following season. He can play in assaulting midfield and down the proper flank — the last mentioned being the position where Valverde has frequently found himself playing beneath Ancelotti.
Madrid are as of now stacked in midfield. In the event that they have found a player to hold down the correct flank, Rodrygo Goes included, Valverde seem have to be battle for a spot within the beginning XI.
A Liverpool move for the 24-year-old continuously appeared a long shot due to the charge he would likely command, and the player himself has presently more or less shot down any contemplations of a planned move to Anfield.
Having as of now went through fair beneath £100 million this summer on two other midfielders in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, a move for the Uruguayan appears most impossible.
Federico Valverde to move Liverpool?
Any encourage signings would likely be within the more humble £50 million bracket, and with the midfield reinforced significantly, Jurgen Klopp may need to set aside bounty of the remaining budget for planned increments in resistance.
Valverde’s standing at Real Madrid is maybe best outlined by the nearness of a amazing €1bn (£854.5m) discharge clause in his current contract, which makes it gem clear that any flight would either have to be be pushed through by him or authorized by the club.
