A controversial claim has been made about Arda Güler in Spain. It is claimed that the Turkish national team player, who is on the rise in "Real" under the leadership of Xabi Alonso this season, no longer wants to be on the field with one of his teammates.
Lent.az reports that according to the Spanish newspaper "El Nacional", Arda Güler and young defender Dean Huijsen told head coach Xabi Alonso that they do not want to play with their teammate Raul Asensio. It is reported that the two players believe that Asensio is below the team's standards in high-tempo games and do not want to see him on the field.
Asensio's form has come under fire after a poor game against Valencia. The 23-year-old footballer, whose hesitant decision-making and slow behavior on the field caused criticism from the fans, is accused of not being able to adapt to Alonso's system.
The report noted that Asensio's relationships with Militao and Huijsen have recently deteriorated, which has negatively affected the team's internal balance. It is also claimed that the "Real" management is considering selling the young player in the middle of the season.
Another report in the Dutch press claimed that Arda Güler and Huijsen approached Alonso and suggested that Asensio should not play, especially in the important game against Liverpool.
Although this move by the young stars had a great impact in Spain, it was reported that Arda Güler strengthened his leadership role in "Real" and became one of the influential figures in the dressing room.
Arda has had a fantastic start to the 2025/26 season at "Real", scoring 3 goals and providing 6 assists in 14 games this season. The young star, who has become an indispensable player in the starting lineup under the leadership of Xabi Alonso, has begun to make his impact felt not only on the field but also in the dressing room.
