AC Milan is reportedly planning to make a move to bring in Real Madrid attacking midfielder Arda Güler on loan during the summer transfer window, according to Calciomercato.
Real Madrid secured the 19-year-old from Fenerbahçe for €15m last summer, but he has only managed to play 93 minutes across all competitions this season due to injuries.
Despite limited playing time, Güler made a notable contribution by scoring in a 4-0 victory over Celta Vigo on Sunday, coming on as a substitute towards the end of the match.
Speaking after the game, Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti said: “He is a great talent, he worked a lot, with more intensity. Obviously, he will have a future here at Real Madrid because he is a great talent.”
However, there’s a growing sense that Güler may not find many opportunities with Los Blancos next year due to stiff competition within the squad, particularly with the addition of Brazilian sensation Endrick from Palmeiras and the potential signing of Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé.
Consequently, Milan is reviving their efforts to bring in the Turkish international, having lost out to Madrid in securing his signature last year.
Milan aims to leverage their positive relationship with the Madrid board to secure Güler on loan, following the successful three-year loan spell of Brahim Díaz at the San Siro.
The Rossoneri also seek to include a buyout clause in Güler’s loan agreement and intend to convince him to make a permanent move once he settles into the Milan setup.
