"Xabi Alonso has reportedly identified his top target if he takes the reins at Liverpool this summer. Alonso wants to 'steal' one of his former players and take him to Anfield, with Real's Arda Guler at the top of his wishlist."
"Guler developed under Alonso in his short spell in charge of Real and has grown into a valuable player for Los Blancos, with four goals and 13 assists in 45 games in all competitions."
"Liverpool can offer Guler a starting spot and more minutes and are poised to 'present an ambitious offer' for the Turkey international."
"The report adds that Real have no intention of selling him and have 'complete control' of the situation. However, Liverpool could test Real's resolve and the potential arrival of Alonso could prove to be a decisive factor for Guler."
Xabi Alonso is reportedly targeting Arda Guler as a key signing if he returns to Liverpool as manager. After a brief managerial stint at Real Madrid, Alonso has been linked with Liverpool following Jurgen Klopp's departure. With pressure mounting on the current manager, Alonso's agent confirmed Liverpool's interest. Guler, who thrived under Alonso at Real Madrid, is viewed as a priority addition for Liverpool, especially with Mo Salah's departure. Despite Real Madrid's reluctance to sell, Liverpool may test their resolve with an ambitious offer.
