AC Milan are eager to sign Real Madrid starlet Arda Guler on loan in January, according to Fichajes. The Turkish midfielder arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2023 from Fenerbahce as one of the best talents in Europe.
However, Guler missed the first half of the season with an injury and failed to break into Carlo Ancelotti's team after returning to full fitness. The 19-year-old ended the campaign with six goals from 13 games across competitions, only five of which were starts.
Guler was heavily linked with an exit over the summer but ended up staying with the LaLiga giants. His situation was expected to improve following Toni Kroos' retirement, but that hasn't been the case.
The Turkey international has registered three goals and three assists from 21 games across competitions. He scored a brace in Real Madrid's 5-0 win over Deportivo Minera in the Copa del Rey on Monday, January 6.
However, Guler has started just eight games for Los Blancos this season and remains a frustrated figure at the club. AC Milan are keeping a close watch on the situation and are ready to offer him a chance at regular game-time.
The Serie A giants are proposing a temporary move, which could suit the LaLiga side. Guler is still highly rated at Real Madrid, who have him firmly in their future plans. A move to San Siro could help the teenager secure first-team action and aid in his development.
How many trophies have Real Madrid won this season?
Real Madrid return to action on Thursday, January 9, when they face Mallorca in the Supercopa de Espana semifinal at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium. Los Blancos arrive at the game on a run of four wins across competitions.
The LaLiga giants are leading the league table after 19 games, two points ahead of bitter rivals Atletico Madrid, who have a game in hand. Real Madrid are 20th in the Champions League table after six games, with three wins and three defeats to their name.
Carlo Ancelotti's team have already won two trophies this season. They defeated Atalanta to lift the UEFA Super Cup at the start of the campaign. That match also marked Kylian Mbappe's debut for the club, with the Frenchman arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu as a free agent last summer.
The LaLiga champions won the Intercontinental Cup last month, defeating Pachuca 3-0.
