The young midfielder has proven to many 'Madridistas' that despite his age, the Real Madrid shirt doesn't weigh him down one bit. What a baller!

Güler started playing with the Fenerbahçe A team at the age of 16, playing his very first match against Antalyaspor on August 22, 2021.

He gradually gained more playing time during the 2021/22 season, proving his talent to the world. Güler stood out for his great technical ability and fantastic finishing in the final third.

The following season, he further earned his place on the pitch at just 17 years old. That season he delivered eight assists and scored one goal, according to Transfermarkt.

His great ability on the pitch caused a lot of noise around Europe, with big clubs like AC Milan, FC Barcelona, and Real Madrid on his radar.

The Spanish club gradually integrated Güler into the starter squad throughout the season, helping him grow on and off the pitch. It was not easy for Güler, but he never gave up.

After overcoming some minor injuries, the young Turk made his debut on January 27, 2024, against Las Palmas in La Liga.

Since this match, Güler has played very little, playing a few minutes here and there, but still showing great qualities that could fit perfectly into Madrid's game in the future.

He scored his first goal with Real Madrid on March 10, 2024, against Celta Vigo, per Transfermarkt. Güler distinguished himself as a clear attacking threat, which left many 'Madridistas' off their seat.

Güler's debut in the Spanish capital has left many football fans in awe. The young Turkish player is already becoming a fan favourite for his incredibly mature personality on the pitch. "The ball is in love with Arda," shared Ancelotti during a post-match conference.

The young Turkish midfielder is one of the many young talents being assembled at the Santiago Bernabeu. With the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, many 'Madridistas' expect great success from this squad!
