Perez’s explanation with his unique coolness not only raised Güler’s status, but also fired a widespread expectation of what the young star would experience in Santiago Bernabeu.
Güler’s rise was really extraordinary. In the summer of 2023, the offensive midfielder, who was transferred from Fenerbahçe with a starting price of 20 million euros, came to Madrid with the weight of the comparisons with Lionel Messi and won him the nickname “Turkish Messi”. The first days of the club were overshadowed by injuries; This restricted the game time and led to question marks about the ability to adapt to the demands of one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. Former coach Carlo Ancelotti period, Güler was forced to take a stable time and often fell into short -term roles in high -risk matches or sat in the bench. In the first season, La Liga’da only 373 minutes in the uniform, such as bright moments, such as bright moments, lack of opportunities caused disappointment, and Güler’in, if the change is not made, the future was reported to give Perez an ultimatum.
The turning point came with the appointment of Xabi Alonso as the coach of Real Madrid in May 2025. Alonso, a former midfielder, realized the potential of Güler’s potential to be the cornerstone of the tactical structure of the team. Unlike Ancelotti, who went back and fits between playing Güler on the right wing or in the center, he was determined in his vision as the central midfielder of Alonso Young Turk – as 8 or the number 10. This change enabled Güler’s development and revealed his performance at the 2025 FIFA Clubs World Cup, the tempo of the matches and the ability to throw accurate passes. The two assists in the quarter -final win against Borussia Dortmund and his effective game against RB Salzburg emphasized his increasing effect by collecting praise from his teammates and competitors.
Perez’s decision to give Güler’s legend of club legend Luka Modric’s number 10, a bold declaration of intention. Modric, who recently transferred to AC Milan after his deep -rooted career in Real Madrid, left an indelible trace in the club and has a tremendous symbolic importance. Perez praised Güler’s “unique talent, self -sacrifice and hunger to success ve and stressed that the young midfielder represents Real Madrid values. Perez said, “Arda is proud to see the future of this club and it as our new number 10, and these words had echoed among the fans who have long been waiting for the successor of Modric’s creative genius. The self -confidence of the president reflects the club’s long -term vision and is seen as the cornerstone of the midfield, which has experienced a generation after the retirement of Toni Kroos and Modric.
Güler’s rise to the number 10 position did not escape attention except Madrid. While the shares in X echoed with enthusiasm, fans and analysts greeted this decision as a masterful move. Some of them think that Alonso’s influence is very important, given Alonso’s previous interest in transferring Güler during his time in Bayer Leverkusen. Others draw attention to the extraordinary performance in the Euro 2024, which Güler reinforces his reputation as a global talent with a magnificent goal scored from 25 meters against Georgia. Although it has been reported that clubs such as Inter Milan and Arsenal have evaluated rental transfers, Real Madrid’s determined stance about keeping Güler in the squad emphasizes their determination to transform him into a worldwide star.
However, the next road is not free from difficulties. The pressure of wearing number 10 in Real Madrid is expected to meet expectations in very large and critical moments. Güler’s defense performance, which was concerned during the Ancelotti period, will have to develop to meet Alonso’s expectations of a versatile midfielder. In addition, players such as Jude Bellingham and brahim Diaz compete for similar roles. However, Güler’s recent performances show that he is ready to overcome this difficulty with the ability to direct the game and create opportunities, and this is compared with the Modric in the best period.
Real Madrid is preparing for the new season, eyes will undoubtedly be on Arda Guler. The number 10 is more than one number; A inheritance, symbol of creativity and leadership. With Perez’s support and the guidance of Alonso, smiling has a platform that will reveal its tremendous potential. For the Madrids, this announcement heralds the beginning of a new era in which “Turkish Messi” can be a legend in itself.
