Arda Guler Is Being Eyed By Manchester United And Liverpool. Will This Be A Huge 2026 Transfer?

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.​ Both clubs are being mentioned alongside Arsenal and other Pr...

Götze's strike propels Frankfurt to victory over Stuttgart.

Eintracht Frankfurt leads 10-man VfB Stuttgart with a goal from Mario Götze.

Eintracht Frankfurt's hopes of finishing in the top four were strengthened on Matchday 27 by Mario Götze's goal in a 1-0 victory over 10-man VfB Stuttgart.

Frankfurt beat VfB Stuttgart 1-0 at Deutsche Bank Park, increasing their chances of European qualification. The game was close until Stuttgart's Ameen Al-Dakhil was sent off. After heavy pressure, Götze finally made the difference, netting the solitary goal of the game in the 71st minute.

Stuttgart starts strong.

Stuttgart started the game with intent, controlling possession and creating early opportunities. Jamie Leweling forced Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos to make a stop in the first few minutes, and Enzo Millot just missed the target immediately after. However, the hosts eventually gained control of the game, with Ansgar Knauff coming close to breaking the deadlock before being thwarted by Maximilian Mittelstädt's last-ditch clearance.

Red card drama


The game's turning point came in the 58th minute, when Stuttgart's Al-Dakhil received a straight red card for bringing down Hugo Ekitiké as the final man. This dismissal tipped the balance decisively in Frankfurt's favour, allowing them to put more pressure on the visitors' goal.

Götze broke the deadlock.

Frankfurt capitalized on their numerical advantage in the 71st minute. Hugo Larsson's shot was pushed into the post by Alexander Nübel, but Götze was quick to respond, tucking home the rebound to give the hosts the lead. The goal was a fitting reward for Frankfurt's improved attacking momentum following the red card.

Stuttgart's Resilience and Frankfurt's Near Misses

Despite being a man down, Stuttgart shown admirable tenacity in the last stages. Substitute Deniz Undav came close to equalising, but his shot was well saved by Arthur Theate. Frankfurt had opportunity to expand their lead. Collins came close to increasing their lead twice in stoppage time, but Frankfurt had to settle for a narrow 1-0 win.

Player of the Match: Hugo Ekitiké

Ekitiké was a thorn in Stuttgart's side throughout the game. The French forward's quickness and mobility caused countless difficulties for the visitors' defence, culminating in the game-changing red card. Ekitiké had numerous chances of his own, hitting the post once and forcing Nübel to make saves. His ability to stretch the back line and create space for his teammates was critical to Frankfurt's success, even though he didn't score himself.
