ON ONE CONDITION”, Arda Guler reveals the only Condition that could make Him accept City offer by January
In a highly anticipated press conference today, Arda Güler, one of the brightest young talents in football, shared the one condition that could make him consider a move to Manchester City by January. The Turkish midfielder, who has caught the eye of Europe’s top clubs, made it clear that his decision to leave Real Madrid will depend on his desire to continue growing as a player.
“I’m open to various options, but there’s one condition that would make me consider Manchester City’s offer: I must be guaranteed a place in the starting XI,” Güler said, addressing the speculation about his future. “I want to play regularly and be part of a project where I can grow and contribute from the first minute.”
The 19-year-old has impressed at Real Madrid with his exceptional technical skill and vision, but his chances for regular first-team football have been limited due to strong competition in the midfield. As a result, Güler has reportedly been exploring his options, with Manchester City emerging as a potential destination.
Under Pep Guardiola’s management, City has been a dominant force in English football, known for its wealth of talent. However, Güler’s statement that he would only join City if assured of a starting role complicates the potential transfer.
Sources close to the player revealed that Güler’s priority is to ensure consistent playing time, particularly as he aims to secure a place in Turkey’s national team for upcoming international competitions. While he is aware of the challenges of joining a team packed with elite players, his ambition to play regularly has led him to set strict terms for any potential move.
Manchester City has shown interest in Güler, who is often compared to some of the best creative midfielders, and talks with Real Madrid are reportedly underway. However, City’s management will need to assess whether they are willing to guarantee a starting role to a player still adapting to European football.
“I’m ready for the next step in my career, but I need to be certain that I’ll be able to contribute immediately,” Güler continued. “I respect every club’s plans, but my primary goal is to play.”
Guardiola, known for his tactical flexibility and effective squad rotation, will need to figure out how Güler could fit into a system already featuring world-class talents like Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Bernardo Silva. The challenge will be finding a way to integrate Güler into the starting lineup while maintaining the team’s competitive edge in all competitions.As January approaches, Güler’s future is still uncertain, but his condition for any potential transfer is clear: he wants to start, and he wants to play at the highest level. Whether Manchester City can meet these demands will determine if this promising talent makes the move to the Premier League in the near future.
