Mourinho Eager for Arda Güler's Return to Fenerbahçe
The Portuguese coach wants the Turkish midfielder back at the club of his life, taking advantage of the fact that his situation at Real Madrid is not ideal.
Fenerbahçe is actively tracking the situation of promising Turkish midfielder Arda Güler, who has seen limited playing time at Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti. With speculation surrounding Güler's future, Jose Mourinho’s side is keen to capitalize on the opportunity to sign the young talent.
Mourinho’s Interest in Güler
Mourinho has made it clear that he wants Arda Güler to join his ranks at Fenerbahçe. The Turkish club is preparing to approach Real Madrid to discuss the potential for a loan deal during the second half of the season. If Madrid agrees, Fenerbahçe could move quickly to secure Güler’s transfer. This interest aligns with Mourinho's ambition to invigorate the fanbase, particularly after Galatasaray’s recent foray into the transfer market with their interest in Victor Osimhen.
Mario Branco, Fenerbahçe's sporting director, is ready to engage with Real Madrid's hierarchy. Although Madrid is not looking to sell Güler outright, they might entertain a loan that would allow him to gain experience in more competitive European leagues. There are reports that Ali Koç, the president of Fenerbahçe, might meet with Güler directly to talk about his prospects.
In his unveiling, Jose Mourinho expressed his desire to add Güler to the squad. If Real Madrid is lenient with the loan conditions and Fenerbahçe can cover Güler’s salary, the Turkish club could successfully negotiate the transfer. Acquiring Güler would provide a significant boost to Mourinho’s squad in the latter part of the season.
Strategic Moves Underway
In addition to pursuing Güler, Fenerbahçe is on the verge of signing Cristian Medina, an attacking midfielder from Boca Juniors, at Mourinho's recommendation. Former executive Ilicali has confirmed that the signing is free from any major hurdles and is expected to be finalized in January. Medina’s playing style mirrors that of Güler, which may lead to increased competition for places within the team.
Through these strategic moves, Mourinho aims to strengthen Fenerbahçe's performance this season, showcasing a forward-thinking approach to creating a robust and competitive squad for both domestic leagues and European competitions.
