Madrid take key decision about Arda Guler amidst interest from Arsenal
Arsenal were planning to sign Guler on loan in January. They thought it will be of best interest for both clubs along with the player. Madrid could help Guler in getting regular game time whereas Arsenal will add more and much needed quality to their attack.
But now as per Defensa Central, Real Madrid have rejected the loan proposal. They are not interested to send the 19 year old away on loan. They want him to stay and develop within their setup and progress eventually as a regular starter.
