Xabi Alonso to change Arda Güler's position at Real Madrid
Incoming Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso is planning to make use of the talents of Arda Güler in a deeper role next season and beyond. That's according to Diario AS, who have on Monday provided an insight into the situation. Advertisement Güler will of course imminently see the competition for places in the attacking midfield role at Real Madrid increase yet further. This comes with Los Blancos having tied up a deal for River Plate sensation Franco Mastantuono. With the two players boasting similar profiles – technically elite, left-footed and with a creative flair – fans of Güler, in turn, may have been concerned when it comes to the Turk's prospects in Spain's capital moving forward. As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the Spanish media is anything to go by, such fans need not fret. As per a report from AS, after Güler impressed in fleeting minutes in the role last season: 'The club's strategy is to continue converting Güler into a (deeper) midfielder, a playmaker with precision from set pieces thanks to his excellent shot.'

Biopic of Turkish-Armenian Photojournalist Ara Güler Becomes First Film to Be Jointly Produced by Historically Hostile Turkey and Armenia (EXCLUSIVE)
A biopic about Turkish-Armenian photojournalist Ara Güler is becoming the first film to be co-produced by Turkey and Armenia. The neighboring countries are historically hostile nations due to the fact that Turkey rejects use of the word 'genocide' to describe the killings of more than a million Armenians and other Christian minorities by Ottoman Turks. The biopic, titled 'Hello,' will be directed by Ela Alyamac and Aren Perdeci, whose 'Lost Birds' (2016) is the first film shot in Turkey to depict the mass deportations and genocide of Armenians during the Ottoman Empire in 1915.

'Hello' is being hailed as 'the first-ever narrative feature film co-produced by Turkey and Armenia, representing a bold and unprecedented act of cultural cooperation and renewed understanding,' according to statement from the directors. Güler is known globally for his portraits of scores of 20th century icons ranging from Pablo Picasso to Winston Churchill. The directors, who are of Armenian descent, developed a close rapport with Güler the year before he passed away and worked with him to develop his life story into the screenplay for a film with the working title 'Hello.' Though the film will explore various aspects of his career and exotic travels, at its core it is a three-day journey the photographer made with his father to the Armenian village where he was born. 'Guler always told us his greatest journey was taking his father back home,' the directors told Variety when the project was first unveiled. Besides documenting top 20th century personalities, Güler, who died in 2018, gained fame for his images of a bygone Istanbul, which earned him the moniker 'Istanbul's Eye.' He established a long collaboration with Nobel Prize-winning Turkish author Orhan Pamuk. Guler's photographs were included in the 2003 Pamuk book 'Istanbul: Memories and the City.' He also directed the 1975 doc 'End of the Hero,' about a World War I battle cruiser. The Dogus Corp. of Turkey, which owns the Ara Güler Archives and Research Center and the Ara Güler Museum, is collaborating on the biopic project. Panavision is set to repurpose Güler's originally owned lenses to shoot the film, according to the directors. 'Hello,' which is supported by the Turkish Ministry of Culture's Cinema Fund, also received a pre-purchase funding award from Turkish public broadcaster TRT's 12 Punto script development platform. Cast and plans for start of shoot are still being kept under wraps. 'At a time when artistic collaboration can be a catalyst for healing and connection, 'Hello' aims to demonstrate the power of cinema to transcend borders, foster mutual understanding, and celebrate shared heritage,' the directors stated.

Real Madrid secures 1-0 victory over Getafe ahead of Copa del Rey final
Real Madrid beats Getafe 1-0 Real Madrid secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Getafe at the Coliseum on Wednesday, maintaining their pursuit of Spanish league leader Barcelona. Arda Güler's first-half goal kept Madrid within four points of Barcelona, who had won their match against Mallorca 1-0 on Tuesday. Carlo Ancelotti opted to rest several key players ahead of Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Barcelona in Seville. Brazil forward Endrick made his first Spanish league start, while Vinícius Júnior was substituted in the second half and Jude Bellingham entered as a substitute. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The match saw injury concerns for Madrid as Eduardo Camavinga and David Alaba suffered muscle injuries. Camavinga replaced Alaba at halftime but had to leave the field in the final minutes. "We'll see, but it's unlikely that they will be available on Saturday," Ancelotti said. The victory holds special significance for Madrid, who had previously suffered heavy defeats to Barcelona this season, including a 5-2 loss in the Spanish Super Cup final and a 4-0 defeat in their first league encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Güler scored the decisive goal in the 21st minute with a well-placed right-footed shot. "Fortunately, I scored the goal that gave us the three points. We knew it was going to be a tough match. It was important to give us confidence for the final," Güler said. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made crucial saves late in the match to preserve Madrid's win, their third consecutive league victory following their Champions League elimination against Arsenal. The match was briefly interrupted due to Getafe fans chanting against Dani Ceballos. Getafe, now in 12th place, continued their poor form with their third consecutive loss. In other matches, Celta Vigo climbed to seventh place with a 3-0 victory over fifth-place Villarreal. Fer López, Borja Iglesias, and Iago Aspas scored for Celta, while Villarreal played with ten men after Eric Bailly's red card in the 37th minute. Athletic Bilbao strengthened their hold on fourth place with a 1-0 win over Las Palmas, thanks to Iñaki Williams' early goal. The victory gave Bilbao an eight-point cushion over fifth-place Villarreal.

Inter eyeing Real Madrid teenagers Güler and Paz: Calhanoglu advantage
Inter are reportedly interested in striking a deal with Real Madrid for Türikye international Arda Güler as well as Como's Nico Paz ahead of the summer transfer window, and the Nerazzurri feel they have an advantage for the former given his relationship with midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu. For several months it has been reported that the Nerazzurri are interested in picking up Nico Paz in the summer transfer window. The talented 20-year-old joined Cesc Fabregas's side in a permanent deal in the summer, but Madrid will still have the final say in his next move. Los Blancos retain a 50% sell-on fee and also have a series of buy-back clauses, which means that they can bring him back to Madrid for a fee of €8m this summer, €9m in the summer of 2026 and €10m in the summer of 2027. That means that Madrid could decide to bring him back in the summer, either as an additional option for the first team, or in order to sell him on for a greater profit. However, reports on Thursday claim that Inter are also interested in 20-year-old Güler as well. The Türikye star, who impressed with his performances at EURO 2024 last summer, has not been able to break into Carlo Ancelotti's first team line-up at the Bernabeu and could reportedly be on the move in the summer, either on loan or on a permanent transfer. According to reports from multiple outlets, including Tuttosport and Güler is keen on the idea of a move to Italy, despite reported interest from the Bundesliga, namely Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt. notes that the success of fellow Türikye talent Kenan Yildiz in Serie A with Juventus is part of the reason why Italy is an attractive destination for Güler. Inter also feel that they have a slight advantage over some of the other interested parties given the presence of Türikye national team captain Calhanoglu, who could potentially play a role in convincing Güler to join.

Real Madrid supporters express increasing concern over Arda Güler after display vs Real Betis
Large sections of the Real Madrid fanbase have on Saturday evening taken to social media, to make clear their concern with the trajectory of Arda Güler's career. This comes owing to the Turk's display in the club's latest outing. Real Madrid were of course back in action a short time ago, making the trip to Seville for a La Liga meeting with Real Betis. When all was said and done on a hugely underwhelming evening for the reigning Spanish champions, they were put to the sword by two goals to one, owing to strikes on the part of Johnny Cardoso and Isco. The aforementioned Güler, for his part, was introduced to the fray with a little over half an hour to play, in the hope of the midfielder conjuring up a decisive moment of quality. The 19-year-old, however, struggled in his efforts towards as much. As Real Madrid found themselves completely shut out in the final third, Güler failed to contribute anything of significance, struggling with the pace and physicality of the game. And as much, as alluded to above, has since given rise to mounting concern across the Blancos' fanbase: Arda guler what happened lil bro, his development has gone down the drain man — SG (@04gully) March 1, 2025 Guler is just physically way off the pace to even be an option at the moment. He gets bullied in duels and the spaces he actively looks to play require core/glute strength that he simply doesn't offer. — Mazin (@MazinMuk) March 1, 2025 Conor Laird – GSFN
