Real Madrid signed Arda Guler for a fee of just €20 million in the summer of 2023, considered a highly lucrative deal. However, the young player’s contract contains many complex terms and could increase the transfer value by up to €10 million.
According to a source from Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Guler has just secured an important release from his contract. Specifically, after playing 50 matches for Real Madrid, Fenerbahce will receive €4 million as agreed.
The ohear-lold has officially passed the benchmark of the next 50 matches against Barcelona recently. So far, Guler has 10 goals and 8 assists, showing his promising development potential at the Spanish Royal Club.
Commenting on the student, manager Carlo Ancelotti said: “ The quality of Arda Guler’s construction work is extraordinary. His future is as a midfielder , not a striker.”
It’s worth noting that the contract also contains another special provision. Fenerbahce has the right to request a friendly against Real Madrid after Guler reaches the 50-match milestone, which could create an opportunity for additional revenue for the Turkish club.
Furthermore, Fenerbahce retains the terms of 20% of the transfer value if Real Madrid decides to sell Guler in the future. However, this possibility is considered unlikely because the Spanish club clearly values this young player’s talent.
The fact that Guler quickly integrated and left his mark at Real Madrid was considered a huge success. Although he was only 20 years old, he demonstrated his skill and potential at one of the most prestigious clubs in the world.
Experts declared the €20 million initial fee and additional terms a win-win deal for Real Madrid and Fenerbahce. Guler is not only a young talent, but also a long-term investment. According to Cronograma , Real Madrid will face Celta Vigo this weekend.
