Bayer Leverkusen, led by Xabi Alonso, is determined to strengthen their squad with Turkish youngster Arda Güler, according to Sky Sports. The midfielder, currently with Real Madrid, has struggled to get regular playing time in a star-studded lineup.

Interest That Goes Way Back

Leverkusen's interest isn’t new. Journalist Florian Plettenberg revealed that the German club had been tracking Güler closely during his time at Fenerbahçe, before he joined the Spanish giants. Now, with rumors of Florian Wirtz potentially leaving, Güler is seen as the perfect candidate to bring creativity and youth to their midfield.

Uncertain Future at Real Madrid

Although Real Madrid isn’t considering a move in the winter transfer window, the player's frustration over his lack of game time could lead to a summer departure. Despite being under contract with the Spanish side until 2029, many in Germany believe the young Turk needs consistent minutes to reach his full potential.

At just 19 years old, Arda Güler has already shown flashes of brilliance with Real Madrid and the Turkey national team. A possible transfer to Bayer Leverkusen might give him the stability he needs to become a key player in a competitive Bundesliga side.
