Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions
Arda Guler deal is done for Real Madrid officially. It is a six-year deal. Actually he had a release clause of 17.5 million euros. But after Barcelona's entering the race first they must have wanted to increase the offer to be more attracting. 30 million euros with add-ons is a good deal but it is still a really cheap signing for Real Madrid. They must be quite contented with having a young star for a price like this.
The reason why Arda chose Real Madrid over Barcelona was the departure time. As far as I know Barcelona wanted to have him by 2024 but Arda wanted to leave this summer. Real Madrid guaranteed that to him so he chose them. Both options were incredible for him of course.
It seems other than Real Madrid, Arda Guler got an offer from Barcelona because he is a young talent and surely he can be a good investment for them he joins there, but Arda Guler rejected the offer from Barcelona and it seems Luka Modric said he will get retired in the next season and Arda Guler can use his number for the next season it was the reason for Guler to join Real Madrid.
Also, Barcelona wanted to hire this player and let him play and stay in Fenerbahce for one year maybe that's why he rejected that offer from Barcelona and joined Real Madrid instead.
