SEVILLA, SPAIN - MARCH 01: Arda Guler of Real Madrid in action during the Spanish league, LaLiga EA Sports, football match played between Real Betis and Real Madrid at Benito Villamarin stadium on March 1, 2025, in Sevilla, Spain. Inter will do their best to add Nico Paz, but such a chase is quite complicated, and, if they can’t land him, they wouldn’t look far for a fallback, as they are interested in Arda Guler. The Turkish attacker could depart to play more, TuttoSport informs. Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen are after him too. The presence of Hakan Calhanoglu would fast-track his integration within the Nerazzurri. He’s more offensive-minded than Nico Paz, but the brass is on the lookout for a forward since Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa will be out of contract soon....
