Earlier this month, Arda Guler decided to join Real Madrid from Fenerbahçe.
The 18-year-old had been strongly tipped to join FC Barcelona, but he finally decided to join the Catalan rivals.
Former FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid midfielder Arda Turan knows Guler very well, as they are both from Turkey. In an interview with Rezzan Yetis from Tivibu Sports, the 36-year-old admitted he would have preferred the teenager to join his former club, although he understands why he chose Real Madrid.
“Real is better for him”
” I would have been much happier if Arda Guler had gone to Barcelona, but I don’t find it strange that he chose to join Real Madrid. The FC Barcelona I played for was the best in history, but the current FC Barcelona is in full reconstruction. Real Madrid are also getting younger, but they are a more mature team. I wish him good luck.
Turan is also confident that Guler will become one of the best players in world football.
“Arda Guler is a very valuable player for our country’s football. First of all, I would like to thank Fenerbahçe for their contribution to the development of Arda. I wish Arda success in life. I think he will become one of the best football players in the world. He looks great with his family. Let him take advantage of these situations. The Real Madrid jersey suits him very well. »
