Arda Guler Reportedly Makes Decision Regarding Barcelona Offer, According to Istanbul Sources

Turkish prodigy Arda Guler is on the verge of making a crucial decision about his future, and recent reports from Istanbul suggest that he has already made up his mind.

Guler, a promising 18-year-old talent, has garnered significant attention in recent months, attracting the interest of several clubs eager to trigger his €17.5 million release clause. However, Barcelona seems determined to go above and beyond the clause in order to convince Fenerbahce to engage in negotiations. As part of the proposed deal, Barcelona is even willing to allow Guler to remain at Fenerbahce for the upcoming season.

Real Madrid appears to be the primary competitor in this race, posing the biggest obstacle to completing the transfer. In the past 24 hours, it is believed that Real Madrid has intensified their efforts to sway Guler in their favor.

Nonetheless, according to Elie Buse Arac, a trusted source cited by Radyo Gol, Guler has already made a definitive decision to accept Barcelona’s offer. He plans to communicate his choice to both Barcelona and Fenerbahce on Tuesday.

Should Guler opt for the Blaugrana, it would be considered a significant triumph for Barcelona, outshining the likes of Real Madrid, Milan, and Borussia Dortmund in securing his signature. Guler’s exceptional ball control and technical ability make him a versatile player who can operate effectively in midfield or on the wings. Despite Barcelona’s limited financial resources, Guler has evidently impressed the club enough to convince them of his necessity, even amidst other pressing needs.
