Aston Villa director expresses interest in signing Arda Guler

Monchi, who took over his role at Aston Villa in 2023, revealed that he is well-acquainted with the 20-year-old's abilities, recognising him as a player of significant potential. "I know him well because he's a player whose career in Turkey was followed by every sporting director," Monchi said.
Regarded as one of the best young footballers globally, Guler has already made an impressive mark at Real Madrid. With a remarkable tally of six La Liga goals in just 330 minutes of play, the Turkish international has attracted attention from top clubs across Europe.
Aston Villa, under Monchi's guidance, have identified the attacking midfielder position as one of the areas to strengthen, making him a prime target for the club's ambitious plans.
Despite links to other clubs, such as Inter Milan, the player and his representatives have firmly dismissed transfer rumours. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has also stressed Guler's long-term importance to the squad, further indicating that the young talent remains a key figure in Madrid's future plans.
