Arda Güler Reveals His Key Condition for a Possible Move to Manchester City
In a highly anticipated press conference, rising talent Arda Güler addressed the growing speculation regarding a potential transfer to Manchester City, revealing the crucial condition that would influence his decision.
The Turkish midfielder, who has caught the attention of top European clubs, made it clear that his primary focus is on his development as a player. “My decision to leave Real Madrid will depend on my desire to continue progressing,” Güler said, stressing that regular playing time and opportunities to develop are the key factors in any potential move.
With stiff competition for midfield roles at Real Madrid, Güler’s future remains uncertain. If he feels his development is being restricted, a transfer—possibly to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City—could be a serious consideration come January.
Arda Güler Sets One Condition for Manchester City Transfer
Arda Güler has clarified that he would only consider a move to Manchester City if one specific condition is met: a guaranteed starting spot in the lineup.
“I’m open to various possibilities, but there’s one condition that would make me consider Manchester City’s offer: I need a guaranteed starting role,” Güler explained. “I want to play regularly and be part of a project where I can grow and contribute from the start.”
Despite his undeniable talent, the 19-year-old has struggled to secure consistent playing time at Real Madrid, facing tough competition in midfield. As he seeks more opportunities, Manchester City has emerged as a potential destination. However, Güler’s requirement for a guaranteed starting position could complicate negotiations.
Sources close to the player indicate that securing regular game time is a top priority, especially as he aims to solidify his spot in Turkey’s national team for upcoming international tournaments.
While City has shown interest, Pep Guardiola’s rotation system and a highly competitive midfield—including stars like Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Jack Grealish—mean that a guaranteed starting spot is far from assured.
“I’m ready to take the next step in my career, but I need to be sure that I’ll be able to contribute right away,” Güler emphasized. “I respect every club’s plans, but my main goal is to play.”
With discussions reportedly underway between Manchester City and Real Madrid, the big question remains:
Will Guardiola be willing to guarantee Güler a starting role? As January draws closer, the midfielder’s future remains uncertain, with his demand for regular playing time potentially determining the outcome of any transfer deal.
