According to prominent transfer insider, Chelsea are actively preparing a blockbuster £100 million proposal to test Real Madrid’s resolve.
Taking to social media, the insider posted the following update:
“BREAKING: Chelsea are preparing a potential £100M move for Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler.”
Chelsea will face competition for Arda Guler from Premier League rivals
However, securing the Turkish international’s signature will be far from straightforward.
There are other top Premier League clubs said to be interested in the player including Chelsea’s rivals Arsenal. Meanwhile, Man United are also said to be keeping tabs on the young Turk.
While Real Madrid have publicly maintained that the midfielder is not for sale and Guler himself has voiced a preference to fight for his place in Spain, the temptation of a guaranteed starting role under a manager who completely trusts him could heavily tilt the scales in Chelsea’s favor.
Arda Guler previously flourished under Xabi Alonso
The driving force behind the ambitious pursuit is incoming Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso, who is eager to orchestrate a swift reunion with the 21-year-old playmaker, who flourished under the Spaniard.
Alonso was sacked from Santiago Bernabéu after a brief stint but has not been out of work for long, with Chelsea bringing him this summer, and he has reportedly identified Guler as his priority target.
