Promising Midfielder Arda Güler Signs with Real Madrid
The 18-year-old midfielder Arda Güler, from Fenerbahçe, has signed a six-season contract with Real Madrid in a deal that will see the Turkish club receive €20 million, plus an additional €10 million in variables and a 20% share in any potential future sale.
The transfer to Madrid was first confirmed by the player's father, Umit Güler, through a video on social media taken from a television series.
In the scene shared by Güler, when a character asks, 'Why don't we go to Barcelona?' the protagonist responds, 'I only go to Real Madrid.'
The club itself later confirmed that they will receive €20 million for the agreement, as the player terminated his contract, with the potential for an additional €10 million based on Güler's performance.
Furthermore, Fenerbahçe will receive 20% of the amount that Real Madrid receives from any potential future transfer of the player to another club.
The Istanbul-based club stated that the player has already traveled to Madrid today, on a flight organized by the Spanish club, to undergo a medical check-up before signing the six-season contract."
