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.

Following their 3-0 defeat last night, CA Osasuna has formally filed an appeal against Barcelona, claiming an alleged ineligible lineup featuring Inigo Martinez.
The Navarrese club filed a complaint with the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and issued a statement stating the same.
"Osasuna have today lodged an appeal with the Competition Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation for improper alignment of FC Barcelona in the match played last night at the Lluis Companys Stadium," according to a statement.
"Osasuna understands that Iñigo Martínez, whose non-appearance with the Spanish national team was limited to a medical leave, was not eligible to play yesterday's match in accordance with FIFA regulations," according to the report.
Osasuna claims Martinez's participation in yesterday's match violates Article 5 of Annex I of the FIFA Regulations on Player Status and Transfer.
According to the article, a player who does not join or departs his national team due to medical reasons may not play for his club for five calendar days after the international time ends.
Osasuna also stated that Marc Casado and their own player, Bryan Zaragoza, were both pulled from the Spain squad due to injury, although only the winger returned to the national team camp for medical testing.

"In view of this fact, the Navarrese club has decided to lodge an appeal on the grounds of unfair alignment in defence of its rights, the fairness of the competition and the equality of all participants," a statement said.
Despite the appeal, Barcelona remains unmoved. The Catalans argue that they behaved within the rules and that Osasuna's allegation is without validity, as they are certain that all procedures were followed.
