Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid seems to finally be happening. Numerous reports over the last few days have accepted the fact that he will join Los Blancos when his contract runs out in Paris at the end of this season. There are conflicting reports about his pay but one thing seems to be imminent and that is his arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu.
But what does it mean for the current crop of Real Madrid players? Well, almost certainly, some will have plans to move elsewhere with the arrival of the superstar. He is bound to be not only a sure-starter, but the player Carlo Ancelotti builds his team around next season.
18-year-old to join AC Milan to accommodate Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid
Fichajes has stated that the 18-year-old Turkish wonderkid Arda Guler, who signed for Real Madrid in the summer, could be moved on. It's thought that AC Milan could serve as a great loan destination for the promising youngster, in a move which would be similar to that of Brahim Diaz, who is now a flourishing Real Madrid starter after he went to Milan on loan.
This would be a great opportunity for Guler to prove his worth and develop as a player. He made a whopping commitment last summer when he rejected Barcelona to sign for Real Madrid but his commitment is yet to be repaid since he's only played 25 minutes since arriving at Real Madrid.
Certainly, there is a gem to be unearthed in the Turkey wonderkid. Otherwise, Real Madrid wouldn't have signed him. The club has the best recruitment team in the world and they know when to spot potential in young players.
However, all that's left for Guler to do is prove himself, which he could do in Serie A before fighting for his place at Real Madrid.
Do you think sending Arda Guler out on loan is the right thing to do from Real Madrid's perspective?
