Barcelona are fighting as hard as they can while at the same time wrestling with hundreds of millions of debt. They managed to take the title, bring several big names with ‘clean papers’, but this summer Real Madrid responded. The Royal Club snatched away the most talented Turkish football player Arda Guler right in front of their fiercest rival.Now it is officially confirmed. Real Madrid announced that they have signed a six-year contract with the 18-year-old offensive midfielder and that Guler’s official presentation will be held tomorrow at noon.Real did not announce it, but Marca writes that Los Blancos paid 20,000,000 euros in compensation to Fenerbahce, and that the Turks could earn another 10,000,000 in later bonuses. With that, the Royal Club made up for what Fener lost from the deal with Barcelona. Namely, the Catalans wanted to pay only the exit clause of 17,500,000 euros, but also to leave Guler to languish on the Bosphorus for another year.Official Announcement: Arda Güler.#RealMadrid | #WelcomeArda— Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) July 6, 2023 However, when the Royal Club saw that things had become serious, they sent Roberto Carlos and Mesut Özil, their legends who also played for Fenerbahçe, to convince Guler that Madrid was still a better option than Barcelona. Allegedly, Luka Modrić also called and promised Arda his no.10 shirt when the Croat retires next season.How could an 18-year-old boy refuse that? It’s Real Madrid. The Royal Club. They know how to seduce. After all, they did the same with both Rodrygo and Vinicius, who were also already seen at the Camp Nou stadium, but were snatched in the last minute.Also, in Madrid they realized that the generation with Ronaldo, Benzema, Modric, Kroos and others had done their thing. And for several years now, under the baton of the chief scout Juni Calafat, the club has been working on rejuvenating the team.In addition to Guler, Vinicius and Rodrygo, as you all already know, Real Madrid also brought in Eduardo Camavinga (20), Aurelien Tchouameni (23), and this summer, 20-year-old Jude Bellingham. Next summer, as an 18-year-old, Endrick will also arrive. When we add Eder Militao (25) and Federico Valverde (24) to that, it is clear to you that they have already formed the backbone for the next decade at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.##NAJAVA_MECA_7355366##A lot is expected from Guler. He resembles Mesut Özil in some segments. He is left-footed, has a dribbling that brings the audience to their feet. He also has experience – he has been in the first team of Fenerbahçe for two years, towards the end of last season he was the main player for Jorge Jesus, scored six goals, had seven assists… When Ozil was asked if he sees someone in Turkish football who could succeed him in the no.10 position he immediately said…”Tough question, but one name comes to mind. I have a brother in whom I believe a lot, I hope that God will protect him from evil judgment. It’s Arda Guler”.Real Madrid simply love players like that. Players who raise the temperature in the stadium, for whom fans come to the stadium. And they especially like them when they turn their backs on Barcelona.
