Chelsea<\/a> are plotting an ambitious swoop to sign Real Madrid<\/a> star Arda G\u00fcler this summer, according to Sports Boom<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n G\u00fcler attracted significant attention from a host of Europe\u2019s leading clubs during his time at Fenerbah\u00e7e, but it was Madrid who ultimately won the race for his signature in 2023.<\/p>\n He made an encouraging start to life at the Bernab\u00e9u, chipping in with eight goal contributions during his debut season, and went on to cement himself as a first-team regular across subsequent campaigns.<\/p>\n His contribution to Los Blancos in the recently concluded season has been impressive, with 6 goals and 14 assists across all competitions, placing him third among Real Madrid players for overall goal involvements.<\/p>\n With transfer<\/a> activities already underway, the versatile midfielder is expected to attract significant interest from several clubs, including Chelsea.<\/p>\n This is according to Sports Boom<\/em>, which reports that Chelsea have expressed \u2018serious interest\u2019 in signing G\u00fcler this summer.<\/p>\n The report adds that the club\u2019s new manager, Xabi Alonso, has earmarked the 21-year-old as the \u2018priority target\u2019 to reinforce his squad ahead of next season.<\/p>\n The Spanish manager is looking to impose a new structure at the club and has identified G\u00fcler\u2019s technical and versatile profile as a \u2018perfect fit\u2019 to serve as a cornerstone to the squad for the next five to ten years, as per the report.<\/p>\n It appears Chelsea are looking to accelerate their pursuit of the Turkish midfielder, as Sports Boom<\/em> claims the London giants are considering an audacious \u00a3100m offer for his potential transfer to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n While Madrid are poised to rebuff any interest in G\u00fcler, their interest in Levi Colwill could pave the way for a player-plus-cash deal with the Turkish international, who is expected to head to London if the deal is agreed, according to the report.<\/p>\n However, Chelsea face stern competition from Premier League<\/a> rivals Arsenal<\/a> and Liverpool<\/a>, who have both been looking to reinforce their squad with the potential addition of G\u00fcler, Sports Boom<\/em> adds.<\/p>\n After an abysmal 2025-26 season, in which they finished 10th and went trophyless, Alonso is expected to turn the tide at Chelsea and will need players who fit his tactical style to achieve this.<\/p>\n As such, a move for G\u00fcler would be a bold statement of intent by the club, giving the manager the best possible tools to achieve their first domestic title in 10 years.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
