Real Madrid’s new signing Arda Guler is already making waves in the media. The teenage midfielder, whojoined the Madrid team on a six-year Ԁєɑł, has beencompared to the likes of Guti and Luka Modricand Carlo Ancelotti’s sporting department is already testing his versatility.
The 18-year-old has been playing as a right-winger and partly as No. 10 during training so far. And seeing his talent, the attacking midfielder is being described as a player who is a‘pure talent’and a‘natural footballer’at Valdebebas, according to a ɾєρօɾτ fromMARCA.
Guler’s 2022/23 season with Fenerbahce was quite successful. The 18-year-old played 35 games across all competitions, scoring six goals and registering seven assists, which put him on the radars of several top cubs.
After it was ɾєρօɾτed that the midfielder’s termination clause costs as low as €17.5 million,Real Madridwere quick to pounce on the given opportunity. The fight, however, was not easy as Barcelona had sent delegates to convince the player to join the Camp Nou outfit as well.
Guler, however, decided to join the team from the capital city, withReal Madridpaying €20 million to sign the 18-year-old, plus €10 million in add-ons. Fenerbahce retain 20% of any future sale.
Beyond that, though, it is said that Guler’s signing bonus is set at €8 million, and on top of it, his father will take home €15 million in commissions.
Guler certainly is not exactly a cheap acquisition but judging by the current state of the transfer market and the qualities he is showing very early in the pre-season he appears to be an absolute coup forReal Madrid.
As iterated earlier, the club see him as a ‘pure talent’ and a ‘natural footballer’. And given his versatility, Ancelotti could have a gem at his disposal.
