As reported by Yagiz Sabunuoglu of SportDigital, Milan have sent a letter to Fenerbahce asking for permission to begin official discussions with Güler’s entourage over personal terms.
Given that he has a release clause in his contract, it is an official step by the Milan management to begin talking with the player and trying to get his green light for the move to take place before – presumably – then triggering the clause.
The Rossoneri are in the market for both an attacking midfielder after Brahim Diaz left and for a new right winger to upgrade that particular flank, and the 18-year-old fills both of those needs such is his versatility.
After a season in which he scored six goals and added seven assists across all competitions for Fenerbahce, he netted his first ever goal for the senior Turkish national team against Wales earlier in the week.
If you don’t already know Arda Guler (2005), you’re going to hear a lot about him over the next few years.
