Arda Güler has agreed a new Real Madrid contract, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that all conditions have been accepted. Romano also said the deal is set to run until June 2032, which would give Madrid a long runway with a player who has already made 116 appearances, scored 19 goals and provided 26 assists for the club.
Madrid move quickly on Guler
The reported renewal fits the way Arda Güler has been used in the opening weeks of the 2026-27 season. He has started three of Real Madrid’s four league matches, and he has already contributed one goal and one assist.
That is a straightforward reward for output and availability. He also missed the Champions League clash with Inter Milan through suspension, so Madrid have still chosen to move quickly on a long-term deal rather than wait for a bigger sample of games.
Jose Mourinho added his backing in comments to TeamTalk, saying: "I really like Arda Güler," and suggesting the midfielder can evolve into different roles over time: "I think something similar to what happened to Modric or Bernardo Silva will happen to him. You start in one position and end your career in another. You can start as a No. 10 and end as a No. 8 or 6."
The only real wrinkle is the contract date. Some reports have pointed to 2031, while the version Romano has repeated is June 2032. On the football side, Madrid are behaving as if they have seen enough already, and the numbers so far support that view.
