Could Güler replace Wirtz at Leverkusen?

Speculation has arisen that Real Madrid youngster Arda Güler could replace Florian Wirtz should the German international leave Bayer Leverkusen.

Back in 2023, Turkish wonderkid Arda Güler opted to leave Fenerbahce to join Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid.

At the time, the 19-year-old had other options, including Bayer Leverkusen – and the German champions remain interested, according to Sky Germany.

With Güler’s contract running until 2029, the only realistic option is a loan move.

 A January move is not an option, as Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti recently stressed, but Leverkusen want to be ready should the opportunity to sign him arise in the future.

With Florian Wirtz heavily linked with a move away from Leverkusen, Güler could be a potential replacement in the summer.

Leverkusen are far from the only club monitoring the Turkish international, though, with Arsenal, Aston Villa, AC Milan and Juventus also mentioned as suitors.
