Real Madrid more focused on signing 18-year-old sensation than Kylian Mbappe
Real Madrid are potentially looking at one of the most important summer transfer windows in recent years. The club have already bagged the services of Jude Bellingham while losing out on Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio.
They have been linked with a move for Kylian Mbappe, who might be offloaded by Paris Saint-Germain as they look to avoid seeing the forward leave on a free transfer. Real Madrid, though, appear more focused on the pursuit of Arda Guler at the moment.
This has been reported by MARCA, which suggests the Turkish sensation could make a decision on his future this week. Everything indicates he will leave Fenerbahce, with Real Madrid emerging as one of the potential destinations.
Guler has been on Madrid’s wishlist for a long time and now is the occasion for them to make a move. The youngster wants to take the next step in his career and is available for just €17.5 million, which is a reasonable fee for any European club.
Guler, though, has been holding out for lucrative wages, which is where Real Madrid take the cake. The Spanish giants’ are offering terms closer to the youngster’s demands, which could give them a major advantage in the pursuit.
It appears Guler could be the surprise package at Real Madrid this season. The club’s coaching staff is sure of the youngster’s abilities. Although they are not sure how the player would fit into the team, his versatility could be of real help.
Guler could indeed provide some much-needed backup in the right wing and even in the attacking midfield position. With 13 goal involvements, the youngster has already proven himself at the professional level and could be a handy alternative for someone like Brahim Diaz next season.
However, the Merengues are also considering the possibility of signing Guler and loaning him back to Fenerbahce for a season, which does not appeal to the player. So, it remains to be seen how Real Madrid navigate these waters and progress in their pursuit of the 18-year-old.

Manchester United launch final push to sign Real Madrid outcast; club resists permanent exit
Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Endrick as the Brazilian forward’s future at Real Madrid becomes increasingly uncertain, with a potential January loan move emerging as a solution to his lack of regular playing time.
According to Bernabeu Digital, Manchester United are making a final push to convince the 19-year-old to join them.
However, negotiations could prove complicated because the Premier League club is interested in including a purchase option in the deal, while Real Madrid are not currently planning to give up permanent control of the striker.
Endrick’s limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season have opened the door to a temporary departure, with AC Milan and Tottenham also emerging as potential destinations.
Why Manchester United want Endrick?
Manchester United are looking for greater attacking productivity and believe Endrick could provide a different dimension to their forward line.
The Premier League club has also been linked with the Brazilian in the past, as they assess options to improve their goalscoring output after a poor start to the season.
Notably, his situation at Real Madrid makes a move more plausible, as Endrick has struggled to secure consistent minutes, and the club is considering a loan that would give him the chance to play regularly.
However, United’s preferred terms could become the biggest obstacle.
The English side reportedly wants the option to buy Endrick at the end of the loan, potentially giving them a route to a permanent transfer if he impresses.
Real Madrid reject permanent Endrick exit
Real Madrid’s preference is understood to be a straightforward loan without a purchase option.
The club want Endrick to gain experience elsewhere before returning to compete for a place in the squad, rather than risk losing a young forward they have invested in for the future.
His previous loan spell at Lyon provides a possible model for another temporary move, although any agreement would depend on the terms offered and the player’s own preferences.
Manchester United are prepared to make an attractive financial proposal in an effort to secure his arrival, but money alone may not resolve the disagreement if Real Madrid remain unwilling to include a purchase clause.
