Graeme Souness has praised a Liverpool star as an ideal fit for Real Madrid, highlighting his potential value to the team. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s teenage prodigy remains unfazed by his limited playing time, demonstrating patience and confidence as he awaits more opportunities.
Real Madrid’s attack features exceptional talent rarely seen in the sport. With a wide range of player profiles to choose from, coach Carlo Ancelotti faces the rewarding challenge of making the best selection choices.
Nevertheless, the intense competition for positions has led to some high-profile players getting less playing time than they would have preferred.
Since the start of the season, Arda Guler has played only occasionally, even though he ended the last season strongly and had a solid performance in the Euros.
Arda Guler was sidelined in the match against Las Palmas in favor of veteran Luka Modric, and coach Ancelotti chose not to give him any minutes against Real Betis. Overall, he has only accumulated 100 minutes of play across four games this season.
According to MARCA, Arda Guler’s team stays calm about his current situation at Real Madrid.
Arda Guler, a nominee for the 2024 Kopa Trophy, understands that the season is long and full of chances. His team is confident that the midfielder will get his opportunity to stand out.
Before the season started, Ancelotti hinted at the need for frequent rotations, and the Turkish talent understands that he needs to be patient for the moment.
To earn more playing time in Madrid, Guler is approaching the current international break with the highest level of seriousness.
He fully recognizes the importance of the Turkish national team’s upcoming matches against Wales and Iceland.
Driven to seize these opportunities, he is concentrating on boosting his match fitness and showcasing his abilities on the international stage.
Right after the international break, Real Madrid will face a challenging run of matches, with La Liga and UEFA Champions League fixtures coming rapidly.
With rotations expected, Guler might get his chance to shine sooner rather than later.
Former Liverpool player and manager Graeme Souness thinks Trent Alexander-Arnold would be a perfect fit for Real Madrid.
Since entering the final year of his contract, the 25-year-old has been the subject of speculation, with reports suggesting that Real Madrid is considering him as a potential signing. In recent years, Madrid has added players like David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Kylian Mbappe on free transfers.
Other reports have linked Real Madrid with a potential move for Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich, who is also in the final year of his contract. This transfer strategy has proven effective for Madrid. As long as the defender hasn’t signed a new deal, there remains a risk of losing him to a club like Madrid.
On the Three Up Front podcast, hosted by Simon Jordan, Troy Deeney, and Souness, where they discuss various aspects of football, Souness described how the Liverpool star would be an ideal fit for Madrid.
“Trent Alexander-Arnold is tailor-made for Real Madrid in terms of the way he plays, and he’s got an unbelievable delivery – not to mention he’s good friends with Jude Bellingham. He could end up at Madrid and that message may already have been relayed to Liverpool.
“I don’t see any obvious reason to take Trent off against Manchester United other than if they know he’s leaving. They’d still want to keep him on side for the rest of the season, and he’ll go for free at the end of it. The message that he’s made up his mind may already have been relayed to the higher-ups at the club. He’s running his contract down. If you’re going to leave Liverpool, where else other than Real Madrid can you really go to better yourself?”
