Arda Guler, Real Madrid’s 19-year-old Turkish talent, has been the talk of transfer rumors.

Nearly 18 months after joining the club from Fenerbahce in a €20 million move, Guler’s opportunities have been limited. Injuries and the preference for experienced players have kept him mostly on the sidelines.

With only nine starts and 16 substitute appearances in all competitions, whispers of a potential January move have grown louder.

Arsenal reportedly showed interest, considering a loan deal with an option to buy. However, Ancelotti has put those rumors to rest.

Ancelotti comments on Guler's future 

After Real’s dominant 3-0 victory over Leganes on Sunday, where Guler shined, Ancelotti dismissed any plans to send him away.

The Real Madrid boss said: "When the team plays well it's because everyone contributes.

"Arda has contributed a lot when it comes to creativity in the final third, he has been close to scoring goals, he has played a complete game."

"These are players that we can count on," he said, highlighting Guler’s creative contributions and his readiness to step up amid Real’s growing injury issues.

Will Guler start against Liverpool?  

Guler's recent 75-minute performance at Leganes was his longest showing in La Liga this season.

It came at a crucial time, with Real battling injuries to key players like Vinicius Junior. Ancelotti emphasized that every player must step up to meet the intense demands of the season.

This newfound confidence in Guler could pave the way for more opportunities, including the possibility of starting in Real’s upcoming Champions League clash against Liverpool.

For Guler, the game at Anfield could be a defining moment.
