Arda Guler to Decide Future Prior to Real Madrid Encounter
The media is abuzz with speculations surrounding the future of 18-year-old Turkish talent Arda Guler, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Sevilla all vying for his signature. Guler recently met with Barcelona’s potential Sporting Director Deco, giving the Catalan club a sense of optimism despite facing competition from various clubs across Europe.
According to reports from Hurriyet in Turkey, Guler is scheduled to meet with Fenerbahce President Ali Koc and coach Ismail Kartal on Monday. It is during this meeting that he will disclose his decision regarding his next club.
Earlier rumors indicated that former Fenerbahce player and current Real Madrid ambassador Roberto Carlos, along with Emilio Butragueno, were planning to travel to Istanbul to meet with Guler and present their offer. However, given the timeline in Turkey, it seems that Carlos might arrive too late to have a significant impact on the deal.
While it remains a possibility that Guler could choose any of the interested clubs, including Barcelona or others that have made proposals, Real Madrid might come to regret their delayed approach if they miss out on securing his services. Especially if Guler were to end up joining Barcelona, it could lead to a sense of regret within the Madrid camp. Barcelona’s proposal seems to have been well-received by Fenerbahce, potentially allowing Guler to stay with his current club for another season.
