Real Madrid Sign 18-Year-Old Turkish Playmaker Arda Guler
Real Madrid have completed the signing of 18-year-old Turkey playmaker Arda Guler from Fenerbahce. Guler scored four goals and supplied four assists last season, putting in a man-of-the-match display in the Turkish Cup final. Last month, he became the youngest player to score for Turkey.
Guler made his Fenerbahce debut at just 16, provided an assist on his first Super Lig appearance and was handed the number 10 shirt last season. Having long been linked with a switch to one of Europe’s leading clubs, Real Madrid have beaten off Premier League trio Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle, as well as Bayern Munich and Paris St-Germain for his signature.
Real Madrid’s Newest Young Prospect
Real did not reveal the fee involved but it has been reported to be around 20m euros. Guler is the latest in a line of exciting young prospects to join the Spanish giants and will team up with Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga.
The signing of Guler is a major coup for Real Madrid and a statement of intent from the club. Guler is a highly talented player with an impressive record in the Turkish Super Lig and has already made a name for himself at international level. He is a creative playmaker who can unlock defences with his passing and dribbling ability.
Guler’s Arrival at Real Madrid
Guler’s arrival at Real Madrid will add further depth to an already impressive squad. He will be competing for a place in the starting lineup alongside some of the world’s best players such as Karim Benzema, Eden Hazard, and Luka Modric.
Guler will also be looking to make an impact on Real Madrid’s Champions League campaign. The club has been knocked out in the round of 16 in each of the last three seasons and will be hoping that Guler can help them go further this year.
