Real Madrid attacking midfielder Arda Guler’s new contract has been “completed” and signed, according to an update from transfer news guru Fabrizio Romano.

The Turkey international has been a key player for Los Blancos, so the club will no doubt be delighted to have kept hold of him amid interest from elsewhere.

Earlier this year, we exclusively revealed that Arsenal had sounded out Guler, while it was also recently claimed that Chelsea could launch an ambitious move for him in January, as per Fichajes.

Guler could have been a fine signing for Chelsea or Arsenal, so Real look to have done well to convince him to commit his future to them instead.

Guler has had his ups and downs during his time in the Spanish capital, but he’s certainly grown into his role there, and it now seems he’s clearly considered a key part of their present and future.

The 21-year-old joined Real from Fenerbahce back in 2023, and he’s scored 21 goals in 123 games for the La Liga giants.

Arsenal could surely have done well to snap him up, perhaps as a long-term replacement for Martin Odegaard, while he would also have been an excellent addition to this Chelsea project, which is built around top young players like him.

It would have been exciting to see Guler in the Premier League, but that now seems a lot less likely as he’s put pen to paper on this new long-term deal.
