Inter Keen on Real Madrid Starlet as a Fallback Plan | OneFootball

Inter will do their best to add Nico Paz, but such a chase is quite complicated, and, if they can’t land him, they wouldn’t look far for a fallback, as they are interested in Arda Guler. The Turkish attacker could depart to play more, TuttoSport informs.

Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen are after him too. The presence of Hakan Calhanoglu would fast-track his integration within the Nerazzurri. He’s more offensive-minded than Nico Paz, but the brass is on the lookout for a forward since Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa will be out of contract soon.

Inter might have to tussle with Milan as well for Guler. Both sides are monitoring the situation and preparing their proposal, Sport informs (via Tuttomercatoweb). The Rossoneri pursued him a couple of times in the past, but Les Merengues beat him to the punch.

Los Blancos could indeed let the youngster go, but they don’t want to lose control over him. They could sign off on a simple loan or a sale with a buy-back clause. The 20-year-old moved to Spain from Fenerbahce for €20M in July 2023. He has featured in 42 matches since, notching 9 goals and 5 assists, mostly operating as a sub. He has 18 caps with Turkey.

Our Take on Inter and Guler

Besides the fee, the sticking point would be the formula in this case too. Even if he’s gifted and would be helpful for two or three seasons, it’s not palatable to groom players that will eventually leave if they show well. They are looking for precise traits to address a glaring need. Perhaps they’ll have another go at their previous target Albert Gudmundsson.
