José Mourinho, coach of Roma, has shown interest in Arda Güler to sign him in January. The Portuguese, known for his direct style, took advantage of Güler's recent visit to Türkiye. He approach him and expressed his desire to sign him for Roma. In a photo posted by Mourinho on social media, they are seen together, suggesting that Güler is a priority for Roma.
Return to His Homeland
Arda Güler, meanwhile, took advantage of the Christmas holidays to travel to his native Türkiye. During his stay, he was in Bolu with his family and then visited the facilities of his former club, Fenerbahçe, in Istanbul. Güler shared photos on his social media with Fenerbahçe officials, who stated that "Güler is part of our family."
To which the player affectionately replied: "Fenerbahçe will always be in my heart." This emotional bond with his former team has fueled rumors about a possible departure from Real Madrid.
Güler's Beginnings in Professional Soccer
Arda Güler debuted at Fenerbahçe in 2021, when he was just 16 years old. He quickly won the affection of the Turkish fans with his enormous talent. The following year, the Turkish club renewed his contract until 2025, giving him the number 10 jersey, a symbol of trust in his quality.
In 2023, after an outstanding season, Güler was transferred to Real Madrid, where expectations were high, although his adaptation was not easy.
Challenges at Madrid and the Euro Cup as a Showcase
Güler's start at Madrid was marked by a series of injuries. A meniscus tear during preseason and two muscle injuries kept him off the field for almost five months.
However, at the end of the season, he proved his worth by scoring 7 goals and adding 5 assists. Additionally, his outstanding performance in the Euro Cup with Türkiye, where he scored a goal and provided 3 assists, allowed him to earn international recognition.
The Current Situation at Real Madrid
Despite his brilliant recent past, Güler hasn't managed to establish himself as a starter at Real Madrid. In the 21 matches he has played this season, he has accumulated only 678 minutes, with one goal and 3 assists.
However, his commitment to the white team remains firm. After the 3-3 draw against Rayo, Güler sent a message on social media: "Don't worry, Madridist family, we'll get through this."
José Mourinho has expressed his desire to sign Güler for Roma, although he is not willing to leave Madrid easily. Despite the offers, Güler remains focused on his dream of succeeding at Santiago Bernabéu. The key to his future could be the trust Carlo Ancelotti decides to place in him in the coming months.
