Real Madrid has completed the signing of 18-year-old teenage star, Arda Guler from Turkish club Fenerbahce.

As announced by the club on Thursday, Guler has put pen to paper on a six-year deal at the Bernabeu, and will be presented to the club on Friday afternoon.

Guler made 35 appearances for Fenerbahce last season, scoring six goals and providing seven assists.

Real Madrid has been following Guler since the 2021-22 season, with Madrid’s chief scout Juni Calafat playing a key part in securing the deal.

Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti plans for Guler to spend the preseason with his new team, but sources close to the player do not rule out a loan move to another team to secure regular game time.

Guler will face stern competition for a place in Madrid’s midfield with the likes of Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Jude Bellingham as well as veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
