Arda Güler's position has the potential to become one of the major transfer sagas of 2026, but whether it actually happens will depend on how far Liverpool and Manchester United are willing to push Real Madrid as well as how eager Güler is to leave the Bernabéu at this point in his development. The noise around United and Liverpool is real and growing, yet the current signals from Madrid and the player’s camp suggest that any blockbuster deal would be more “opportunity of the market” than inevitability. Where the Rumour Stands Now Reports in England and Spain indicate that Manchester United have already opened or accelerated “initial contacts” around a possible move for Arda Güler as part of long‑term recruitment planning. At the same time, Liverpool are being described as strong contenders or even frontrunners in some outlets, especially in the context of planning for life after a declining or departing Mohamed Salah.

Reds suffer their first defeat of the season in unexpected fashion.
Arne Slot was "frustrated" by his Liverpool side's "hardly creating any chances" in their 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday.Slot suffered his first setback as Reds manager, as Callum Hudson-Odoi scored the game's sole goal for the visitors midway through the second half.
Liverpool entered the game with three wins in a row and had not allowed a goal in the Premier League season, but they returned from the international break to deliver their poorest performance of the season.
"The result is the most frustrating, and we can't be happy with how the game went," he stated afterwards. "It was a stop-start game, and we barely produced any opportunities.
"We only have to look at ourselves; we have to improve. We lost the ball far too often in this region. It wasn't good enough. We need to improve our ballhandling.
"We did not make sound decisions or execute them properly. In general, we defended effectively, but the two quick players [Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga] came on and made things difficult. We took many risks, but the ultimate result was a very good goal."
After conceding his first goal of the season, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson criticized Forest's attitude to the game.
"It was a shame," he commented. "Losing points at home is never ideal, but our opponent today solely wanted to defend and play for the long ball.
"We made it too easy for them when they scored. We did not play well defensively. We couldn't produce much today because we lacked quality and required more energy. We lost three points today unintentionally.
As he continued: "All the opportunities we had were not clear enough and they defended great, they threw themselves in front of the ball."
