Confirmed, Mikel Arteta Wants a Real Madrid Player: 'The New Odegaard'

The Arsenal manager wants to repeat a new operation like the one with Odegaard.

Real Madrid have players in their squad who always attract the attention of other teams. This time, it is no different. Specifically, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are closely following any news that may arise with one of the most fashionable players in Europe: Arda Güler. They consider him the new Odegaard and believe that they can take advantage of his bad moment at Madrid.

Arda Güler has only played 307 minutes this season, spread across a mere 12 games, of which three were as a starter. The Turk is seriously considering what to do with his future and has no shortage of suitors, Arsenal being the latest of them. SPORT has discovered that Mikel Arteta wants him, seeing parallels in the situation that ended up taking Odegaard to Arsenal years ago.

Madrid-Barcelona has learned that Arda Güler is no longer so unhappy about a possible departure in the winter transfer market... provided he heads to a destination where he feels important .

There is still some time left before he has to make a final decision, but what was previously 100% ruled out for Arda Güler, is no longer the case a few days ago. He expects more importance this season, and even with injuries he hasn't had any. In January he will decide what to do, but the possibility of leaving is gaining strength in his entourage.

In any case, what is clear is that Güler will not leave Real Madrid for good . He signed a contract until 2029 and Florentino doesn't want to lose him for anything in the world. At 19 years old, he is considered to need minutes and the club is not against a loan, with a possibility on the table that everyone likes.

No to Mikel Arteta's Arsenal: Arda Güler has another destination in mind

While Mikel Arteta wants him for his Arsenal with the idea of making him the new Odegaard, what Arda Güler would prefer is not to leave Real Madrid permanently .

If he does end up leaving, the most likely option is for Arda Güler to continue in Spain. He is perfecting his Spanish language skills after more than a year in the country and wants to continue learning about the culture, as well as completing his adaptation to La Liga.

Real Sociedad want Arda. He fits in and they offer him a place in the team.

The relationship between the two clubs is excellent after several moves together. San Sebastian is trying to make Arda Güler see that he can take the next step in his career there. They have put two examples on the table: Odegaard and Kubo. Florentino doesn't want to lose him permanently, but the Turk will have the last word .
