Over the years Real Madrid have brought in quite a plethora of talents from all across the globe. The aim seems to be to assemble a squad that will compete at the top domestically as well as in Europe for years to come. So far so good as they will be entering the 24/25 season as defending Spanish and European champions, and one could argue that this team is nowhere near its prime yet.
Players like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Eduardo Camavinga, Rodrygo and Fede Valverde are all still in their early to mid-20s. They are expected to be cornerstone pieces of Real Madrid's future success.
On top of that are the arrivals of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick this summer. Real Madrid's squad is filled with the best youngsters in the world, pretty much in every position.
However, there is one player at Real Madrid that many think should see more minutes but after the arrivals of Mbappe and Endrick, things have only gotten more difficult for him. We are talking about Arda Guler.
Xabi Alonso wants Real Madrid ace to join Bayer Leverkusen
After arriving last summer, Guler never really found his footing in the team until towards the end of the season. That is largely due to his early fitness issues. But that has not stopped some of Europe's best teams from looking for ways to sign him.
It looks like Xabi Alonso is eyeing a move to land Guler, albeit only on loan. According to Sport (via Mirror), the Bayer Leverkusen manager is set to have a keen interest in the Turkish international.
Guler had a rocky debut campaign at Real Madrid, but he did impress many in the limited chances that he got. Add on top of that his tremendous performances for Turkey at the Euros, and there is a lot of excitement around the ace ahead of next season.
