PSG's Record Offer for Arda Guler

An eye-catching transfer claim has emerged surrounding Turkish international Arda Guler, who continues his career at Real Madrid. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, French giants PSG, winners of the last two Champions League titles, have submitted a €115 million offer to Real Madrid to sign the 21-year-old star. According to the report, PSG are said to be highly determined to complete this transfer and are willing to commit to a substantial transfer fee.

According to the report, Real Madrid are weighing the offer from two different angles: keeping Guler in the squad given his sporting importance to the team, or selling him for a figure far exceeding what they paid to sign him from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023. It's noted that PSG have the financial strength to persist should they receive an initial rejection from Real Madrid, and could raise their offer in the final weeks of the transfer window.

Guler, who joined Real Madrid from Fenerbahce for around €20 million in the summer of 2023 and delivered six goals and 14 assists in 51 official matches last season, has seen his market value rise significantly alongside his development in Spain. It's also noted that Fenerbahce would receive a significant sum should the transfer go through; the Turkish club had previously disclosed in a stock exchange filing that their agreement includes a 20% sell-on clause. This means Fenerbahce would receive €23 million should the €115 million fee be paid. With his contract running until 2029, Guler's future should become clearer in the coming days depending on Real Madrid's response to the offer.
