If media reports are to be believed, Liverpool is moving quickly to acquire Arda Guler from Fenerbahce during the summer transfer window.
The playmaker, who has been dubbed the new Mesut Ozil, was interested in joining the Merseysiders last year, according to Aksam, but he ultimately decided to stay with the Turkish giants.
Recently, Aksam has revealed that Liverpool have sped up their efforts to finally sign the 18-year-old starlet.
According to the media outlet, the teen sensation is currently worth around 15 million euros on the market.
However, Guler’s current contract, which is set to expire in 2025, has a release clause worth 20 million euros (£17 million) that will be activated if he appears for 1500 minutes in the current campaign (Ajansspor).
He has currently logged 1457 minutes of action for Fenerbahce, and he will take the field against Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkish Cup final tomorrow.
The young player has experience playing as a winger, a secondary striker, and a central attacking midfielder when necessary.
For the Super Lig club thus far this season, he has started 17 games and has directly assisted in 12 goals (six goals and six assists). Arda has already played twice for Turkey’s senior international team.
The Reds have already signed top midfielder Alexis MacAllister, but they still need more imaginative players to improve the situation in the middle of the park.
The department still needs to be strengthened more. Should Liverpool finally pay £17 million to acquire Arda Guler, in your opinion?

Liverpool is getting closer to adding another midfielder, with the agreement of personal terms.
Liverpool successfully acquired Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton on Thursday, and the Reds are now looking to add a midfield partner for the World Cup winner.
Due to Fabinho’s declining performances throughout the previous season, Jurgen Klopp is looking to add a defensive midfielder to his lineup for the upcoming season.
The Reds have made Khephren Thuram of OGC Nice a target, and according to FootballTransfers, the Merseyside club and the 22-year-old have reached an agreement on personal terms.
A transfer fee is reportedly being discussed between the two clubs, with Nice reportedly looking to get the most money for the French star and Newcastle reportedly having an interest in the midfielder.
Since January, Liverpool has been keeping an eye on Thuram, who is reportedly pushing for a transfer to Anfield with his entourage.
With the defensive midfield position becoming vulnerable over the past year under Fabinho’s leadership, the 22-year-old would be a huge boost for Klopp going into the upcoming season.
The Frenchman appears to be Liverpool’s second acquisition of the summer transfer window, and after that deal is done, Klopp will focus on bringing in a third midfielder to complete his overhaul.

What the Brighton players had to say about Alexis MacAllister leaving Liverpool and the simple transfer decision
The signing of Alexis Mac Allister by Liverpool is discussed by one of the ECHO jury members.
Following the impressive acquisition of Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool’s summer transfer window has opened.
On Thursday morning, the 24-year-old was introduced as the Reds’ first summer acquisition. He has committed to the team for five years. Mac Allister will be prepared to jump right into Jurgen Klopp’s midfield next season after making 98 Premier League appearances prior to his arrival at Anfield.
selecting No. The World Cup champion will have big shoes to fill when he plays during the 2023–24 season after inheriting the No. 10 shirt from its previous owner, Sadio Mane, but Mac Allister comes across as an induvial who is ready to take on this new challenge in his career.
The versatile midfielder, whose goal now is to help Liverpool contend for the biggest prizes in the game, has already helped Brighton secure European football for the first time in their history.
To be able to compete with Manchester City next season, Klopp’s team will need to make more additions to the roster, with a focus on bringing other midfield targets to Merseyside. Although he will need to be supported by acquisitions of comparable caliber, Mac Allister represents a step in the right direction for the Reds’ recruitment drive.
A comment on Liverpool’s new No. 10, ECHO jury columnist Andrew Cullen thinks Mac Allister has all the skills required to make an immediate impact.
Mac Allister gives Liverpool’s midfield some much-needed qualities, according to Andrew Cullen (@BrothersRed5).
The signing of Brighton’s elusive midfield maestro Alexis Mac Allister has given Liverpool’s summer transfer activity a promising start.
Some reports state that the fee could be as little as £35 million, which, if true, would be a wise choice for the business. In addition to being financially wise, the deal is also wise for Liverpool because they will be bringing in a young, energetic midfielder with a strong history in the Premier League.
The Liverpool midfield, which was dull and uninspired last season, will get some zing and flair from Mac Allister.
Last season, Mac Allister began to make a difference for the Brighton team after a lackluster start to life in the Premier League. He was a crucial part of Brighton’s remarkable rise. He also excelled on the international stage by winning the most coveted award in football in Qatar, in addition to his impressive performances on the domestic stage.
Given that Brighton plays a dynamic, attacking brand of football that is not too dissimilar from Klopp’s heavy metal brand, Mac Allister’s transition ought to be smooth, at least on paper. He should be able to complement Henderson and Fabinho’s more practical pairing and synchronize with a Thiago or Trent pairing with his playing style.
His former Brighton teammates are complimentary of not only his physical skills but also his disposition, mentality, and personality. In a player, Klopp searches for this modest ambition.
The signing of Alexis Mac Allister is a good start for Liverpool’s summer business after the disappointment of losing the race for Jude Bellingham. Naturally, Liverpool still needs to add speed and power to its midfield and perhaps defense, so it is hoped that this transaction is just the beginning of things to come this summer.
