Arda Güler asks Real Madrid for the privilege Florentino promised Mbappé

In recent weeks we have seen a step forward from Arda Güler that was so desired. After a season with barely any minutes, he has started to earn a spot in the starting eleven. There is even speculation that he might be a starter this Sunday against Barça in the league Clásico.

It would be the big news, but right now Arda Güler is full of confidence in all aspects. To the point that he dares to make a very striking request to Real Madrid. He wants the privilege that Florentino had promised Mbappé when he signed last summer.

It was in statements published in The Players Tribune, where Arda Güler confirmed it. "I would love to be the number 10 of this club" he said about inheriting Modric's number. Something surprising but that will depend on the decision Mbappé makes.

When he signed for Real Madrid, he couldn't take his "10" and had to opt for the "9" that Benzema left vacant. However, if Modric leaves this summer, he will have to make a decision. Logic says he will use Luka's number, otherwise, Arda could inherit it.

Güler confesses after a challenging season with an important confession

Güler seemed to be facing an important season after his debut last season. Injuries made him miss many months and even put his continuity at the club in doubt. There was speculation in the winter market that he might go out on loan to get more minutes.

But in recent matches, he has had more participation and has performed at a high level. In fact, he has closed the exit door by confirming that "I want to be an important player for Real Madrid. I want to lead the way for a new generation of Turkish players."

He also confessed that "being on the bench is not easy. When we won the Champions League, I didn't feel like lifting the trophy because I hadn't contributed much on the field. That's why I was so embarrassed when Ancelotti gave me the microphone at Cibeles".
