Arsenal must pay €150m if they insist on signing La Liga star Arda Güler. Arsenal’s aims in European football have become more serious. This has now attracted interest in one of La Liga’s most exciting young talents Arda Güler. The 19 year old Turkish midfielder has been demonstrating his passing, vision and knack for critical goals for Real Madrid. But if Arsenal wants to bring him to North London, they must face a serious challenge. That is Güler’s €150 million release clause.
A Star in the Making
Güler is often called the “Turkish Messi”. In the short time of his Europe career, he got admiration by many. Despite his years, he plays with the confident authority of a more experienced professional. He is capable of opening up defences with an important pass or dazzling run. For Arsenal, who has a strong pedigree in the development of young talent, this presents a great opportunity. Pairing Güler with £50 million Bukayo Saka and about €40 million Martin Ødegaard could take Arsenal’s attack to another level.
The Financial Reality
But back to the numbers. €150 million is, of course, exorbitant. Eespecially for a club that has taken a cautious approach under Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu. Also, specifically to balance out their investments with sustainability. Therefore, to spend that on a single player would terrify the guy who helds the trust with the club’s long-term financial planning.
A Dream or a Gamble?
While fans would be in thrill to see Güler in red and white, there’s also a sense of realism. Arsenal may admire his talent, but they must weigh the risks of such a massive outlay. For now, the release clause serves as a strong message from Madrid: Güler is not going anywhere cheaply. Of course, the fact that Arsenal are now being linked with the likes of Arda Güler alone shows how far the club has come. From Arteta’s rebuild to competing with Europe’s elite, the Gunners are dreaming—and the world is watching.
