Liverpool urged to sign Arda Guler from Real Madrid

Liverpool legend Dietmar Hamann has urged his former side not to miss out on signing Real Madrid youngster Arda Guler.

The former Reds midfielder advises that it would be a “mistake” if they miss out on signing the out-of-favour Turkish Prodigy.

In sending across his warning message, Hamann states that they’ll be making a huge ‘mistake’ if they don’t sign Real Madrid outcast as ex-Germany international tells Reds to ‘find a role’ for wonderkid.

Hamann believes Guler has the potential to become a “huge” player for Liverpool in the future.

Hamann has sounded a caution to his former team that they would be making a “mistake” if they fail to sign the youngster, should an opportunity arise this summer.

Speaking to CoinCasino, Hamann said: “I think Liverpool ending their interest in Arda Guler would be a mistake because we’ve seen young players leave big clubs and get a new lease of life.

“Alexander Isak was at Borussia Dortmund when he was 17 and it came too early, Guler went to Real Madrid and I think he is a huge talent who doesn’t get enough playing time because of the competition.

“Guler is the type of player who has huge potential, if you can find a role for him I think he will grow in confidence, he could be a huge player in the future and why not for Liverpool.”

Guler has found it hard to break into the starting XI under Carlo Ancelotti this season.

The 20-year-old has recorded only 1,388 minutes for Los Blancos in 2024/25, managed across 37 games, with just 13 starts.

Despite his struggles since his move from Fenerbahce almost two years ago, reports from Spain have revealed how the higher authorities at the Bernabeu continue to rate his potential high, taking him off the transfer market.

He has attracted interest from the Bundesliga, as well as the Serie A, with both clubs from Milan reportedly keeping a keen eye on Guler’s situation in the Spanish capital.

Premier League suitors, Aston Villa have also joined the race if sporting director Pablo Monchi’s words are to be believed.

The Turkish international has performed exceptionally well in Madrid’s last two fixtures, racking up an assist or a goal, against Getafe (1-0), and the 3-2 loss to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final.

Those last two performances could change Guler’s position in the pecking order in the last five games of the campaign, giving him the chance to impress Real’s potential next manager, most likely to be Xabi Alonso.
