L’Equipe: Milan ahead of Barcelona as Fenerbahce star is ‘convinced’ by move

Arda Guler has ended up on AC Milan’s radar and with the hefty sale of Sandro Tonali on the cards, the Rossoneri could beat the competition. In fact, they have even convinced the player, a report claims. 

Milan are in advanced talks with Newcastle over the transfer of Tonali and the final figure could be around €80m. That’s a lot of money for the Rossoneri and could allow them to make moves for their dream targets, such as Guler.

According to L’Equipe, Milan are currently ahead of the competition and as the Feneberbache star is ‘convinced’ by the move. Guler has a release clause of just €17.5m and it’s essential for the Rossoneri to act fast, with competitors such as Barcelona currently behind but not far.

Geoffrey Moncada and Stefano Pioli have identified the 18-year-old as the perfect replacement for Brahim Diaz and he can also play on the right. Just a few days ago, Guler scored a screamer for Turkey’s national team and it’s no wonder that several big clubs are after him.
