La Liga
Real Madrid is once again in the center of the market due to a proposal that, until a few days ago, seemed unrealistic. From England, it is assured that Manchester City is willing to put forward a direct exchange: Rodrigo Hernández for Arda Güler, an idea fueled by Pep Guardiola's strong interest in the Turkish player, who is experiencing an extraordinary moment at the European champions.
Real Madrid Firm Against Manchester City's Interest
DefensaCentral assures that at Valdebebas, it has not gone unnoticed that Manchester City seriously considers including their starting midfielder in the operation. Guardiola has been fascinated by Arda's creative talent and personality, a player who naturally fits into the type of game promoted by the Catalan coach. Information from the Premier League indicates that the English club is willing to make a significant effort to convince the white club.
However, Real Madrid does not contemplate under any circumstances the departure of the Turkish player. The sports management considers him untouchable, and the player himself has reiterated his intention to continue growing at the Santiago Bernabéu. Arda has found continuity, confidence, and an increasingly decisive role, reasons enough for the club to close off any negotiation.
Rodri, a Name No Longer Convincing in Chamartín
The possibility of incorporating Rodrigo Hernández does not excite the Madrid club either. There was interest in the past, but his current physical condition has raised doubts. The Spanish international has been dealing with recurring knee issues, which have forced him to stop at various points in the season, something especially concerning regarding a high-investment signing.
Although Manchester City assures his full recovery, those in Chamartín are not entirely confident in those assurances. Furthermore, the midfielder is under contract until 2027 with a market value around 90 million euros. Currently, no club is willing to make significant offers for him, a circumstance complicating any operation and increasing the skepticism of the white team.

Arda Güler, the Gem Xabi Wants to Keep Polishing
Arda Güler's growth under Xabi Alonso's guidance has been evident. The coach has chosen him as a starter in most games this season, convinced that his development is crucial for the team's immediate future. Although there is still debate about his ideal position, the club agrees that his potential is extremely high and that he is destined to become a global reference.
The player himself feels fully integrated and satisfied with the coach's work. Arda values the role he is taking on and wants to continue consolidating himself in the best possible scenario. The only difficulty lies in the tactical coexistence with Jude Bellingham, as it is not always easy to fit two such creative players without losing balance, although the coaching staff is working to find the definitive formula.
A Sports Project Not Involving Exchanges
The club remains firm in its roadmap: there will be no operations based on exchanges. Real Madrid believes that its current squad offers balance and competitiveness, and the players who could leave the club would not fit as bargaining chips for the main objectives. Therefore, rumors from England do not disrupt the sports planning.
The white club is clear in its stance: Arda will continue to be a fundamental part of the project, while Rodri will remain at the Etihad unless there is a completely unexpected turn of events. The Madrid leadership does not intend to alter its strategy for a proposal as remarkable as it is improbable, reinforcing its commitment to continuity and internal growth of the Real Madrid project.
