Even when the winter transfer season closed recently, there is no shortage of transfer news. In reality, Real Madrid's search for the best never ends, nor do rival teams' efforts to get the best from Los Blancos.
Despite the fact that the winter transfer market has closed, some Real Madrid players are apparently looking to leave. Many of them wish to look into loan alternatives, while others may seek permanent relocation.
In the middle of all this, news of a major German club showing interest in one of Real Madrid's most renowned young players has not gone ignored.
Eintracht Frankfurt want to sign Real Madrid youngster
According to Sky Sport Germany, Eintracht Frankfurt are interested in signing Turkish Madrid young gun Arda Guler and are constantly following the player's status.
It is generally known that Guler has not been getting the minutes he desires at Madrid and was apparently searching for some outside. The player has 29 appearances in all competitions, totaling 1,081 minutes played. That works out to less than one-half in each appearance made. The stats are dismal given his talent, but it is expected given how crowded Real Madrid's midfield is. Plus, he is so young and some patience would only be better for him.
The 20-year-old sensation might be the missing jigsaw piece for Frankfurt, who are continuously looking for ways to bolster their midfield. The team, which has an average squad age of 25 years, may repose more faith in the Turk and provide him with the minutes and experience he requires.
These interests, however, should be regarded with a grain of salt. Nothing appears to be solid this early, with the big transfer window still months away. Arda Guler is undoubtedly on the list, but again, there is a list. He may be in the middle of it or down on it.
It is critical to remember that as quickly as these interests emerge, they also fade. The transfer window is dynamic and constantly changes.
