Arsenal and Liverpool are among the clubs closely monitoring Real Madrid’s rising star, Arda Guler, following his impressive performance for Turkey in their Euro 2024 opener against Georgia.
The 19-year-old midfielder scored a spectacular goal, securing a victory for his team and making history in the process. Guler’s goal at 19 years and 114 days old makes him the youngest player to score on his debut in the tournament, breaking a record previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo scored his first goal at 19 years and 128 days during Euro 2004 in a match against Greece. Guler’s historic strike has now etched his name into the annals of football.
According to CaughtOffside, there is significant interest in Guler, despite Real Madrid considering him an “untouchable” asset. Scouts from elite clubs including Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and AC Milan were also present at the match, underscoring Guler’s burgeoning reputation on the international stage.
Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool are expected to make inquiries about Guler’s availability soon. However, Real Madrid remains steadfast in their commitment to retaining the talented midfielder. The club envisions Guler as a cornerstone of their future, alongside emerging stars like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Eduardo Camavinga.
Guler is rapidly becoming a coveted generational talent, capturing the attention of top European clubs eager to secure his signature. The prospect of the Turkish prodigy moving to English football has generated substantial excitement, given his potential to excel in his peak years.
