Fenerbahce meanwhile, want to keep on their star man but would consider offers for the right price.
Guler has six goals and six assists in in 33 appearances in all competitions this season.
He really came into his own over the second half of the season when he established himself as a first team regular for Fenerbahce.
The young attacking midfielder is touted as one of the most promising players in Turkish football.
