The Merengues achieved a spectacular breakthrough by beating Barcelona and recruiting the Turkish international in June 2023. He joined the club as one of the most promising hopes in European football, but its impact in Madrid was limited.
A combination of injuries and the prudence of Carlo Ancelotti as to his premature integration into the first team have disrupted his progress.
Arda Guller costs Real even more
However, the 20 -year -old has shown positive signs in recent weeks, with a crucial impact for Real Madrid who seeks to stay in the La Liga title race.
His participation in the defeat in the final of the King's Cup against Barcelona on April 26 allowed him to play 50 games with the club, and rumors circulate that Xabi Alonso would plan to offer him a more important role from August if he returned to Madrid.
Match No. 50 also triggers a payment from Real Madrid to Fenerbahçe, its former club, in accordance with the terms of their 2023 transfer agreement.
According to information from Diario As, the Merengues will pay 4 million euros to Fenerbahçe, after having received a premium linked to performance, following their initial investment of 20 million euros.
According to the clauses of the agreement between Real Madrid and Fenerbahçe, the Turkish club receives financial compensation for each 25 games played by Güler.
A price that continues to increase
This gives Fenerbahçe the opportunity to earn an additional 10 million euros thanks to this type of transactions.
An agreement was also concluded between Fenerbahçe and Real Madrid, providing for a friendly match between the two teams this summer, but no date or place have yet been confirmed.
Güler scored six goals in all competitions last season, including four in 2024/25, when there are five liga games to play this season.
