Real Madrid are preparing a new five-year contract for Arda Güler that would raise his pay from €6.25m a year, excluding bonuses, to €8m net, the Spanish paper El Debate reported, as Hürriyet and Onedio relayed. Hürriyet said that would be a 28% raise and would put him above Raúl Asencio and Brahim Díaz on the club’s pay scale.
Onedio wrote that the head coach José Mourinho wants Güler, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni kept off any sale list. The club has not announced anything. Güler has 4 goals and 7 assists in 14 LaLiga and Champions League games this season, according to Hürriyet.
