Real Madrid has confirmed a further investment of two million euros for Arda Güler, a payment that underscores the club’s faith in the young Turkish talent. According to Turkish outlet Fanatik, the unwavering trust placed in Güler by coach Xabi Alonso has been pivotal in his development, allowing the midfielder to reach the milestone of 75 appearances in the iconic white jersey. At just 20 years old, Güler is rapidly solidifying his place in the squad, having participated in all 14 matches this season, totaling 929 minutes on the pitch.
Far from being a mere squad player, Güler has already made a significant impact this season, contributing to nine goals with three strikes and six assists. His performances have made him the most utilized U21 player under Alonso’s management, surpassing even notable talents like Dean Huijsen and Franco Mastantuono. This season’s statistics reflect not only Güler’s potential but also his crucial role in Real Madrid’s tactical setup.
Xabi Alonso’s Strategic Vision
The recent payment to Fenerbahçe marks the third bonus milestone achieved for Güler. The Turkish club had previously received four million euros when he hit the 25 and 50-match marks, including during last season’s Copa del Rey final. As per the transfer agreement, two additional payments of two million euros are due if Güler reaches 100 and then 125 matches. Given his current trajectory, it is highly plausible that he will hit the century mark this season, especially with 27 La Liga fixtures remaining alongside Champions League commitments.
A Bright Future Ahead
This additional financial commitment is viewed by Real Madrid as a sporting endorsement of their investment strategy. Xabi Alonso’s confidence in Güler is not new; he had expressed interest in bringing him on loan to Bayer Leverkusen during his initial negotiations to join Los Blancos over two years ago. Since arriving at Real Madrid, Güler has evolved from a player with limited minutes to being one of the most frequently utilized members of the squad, showcasing his adaptability and skill even amidst rotation.
The future looks promising for Arda Güler at Real Madrid. If he continues on this path, fans can expect him to not only meet but exceed expectations as he progresses through his career at one of the world’s most prestigious football clubs.
