Prodigious Real Madrid Playmaker Shuts Down Exit Talks Amid Inter Milan Links: “Still Believe In This Project | OneFootball

Real Madrid starlet Arda Guler played down speculation linking him with a summer exit despite Inter Milan’s alleged interest.

Speaking to Spanish outlet Marca via FCInterNews, Guler quashed recent rumors about his future at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

The 20-year-old playmaker left his boyhood club, Fenerbahce, to join Los Blancos in the summer of 2023.

Despite arriving at the club as a generational talent, Guler has struggled to secure regular first-team football in Madrid.

Indeed, fierce competition for places has demoted him to a second-string star, raising questions about his future.

Meanwhile, Inter ace Hakan Calhanoglu recently called his international colleague to join him at the San Siro.

Calhanoglu and Guler share the dressing room in Turkey’s national team and have recently helped them to a massive achievement.

Vincenzo Montella’s side thrashed Hungary 6-1 to secure top-tier promotion in the UEFA Nations League.

However, the two will likely remain teammates only on international level.
