Real Madrid Confidencial Arda Güler shows off his best gift in 2 years at Real Madrid, historic photo
The Croatian embraced the Turk during his farewell and gave him his jersey from his last match as a Madridist
Arda Güler has shared on social media an image that's now part of Real Madrid's history. The young Turkish talent posted a very special photo on Instagram: Luka Modric's last Real Madrid jersey with the number 10. This piece of clothing not only symbolizes a farewell, but also a dream.
The jersey was given to him by Modric himself after his last match as a Real Madrid player. This gesture was full of emotion and, for Arda, it's probably his best gift since he arrived at the club in 2023.
An unforgettable gesture from Modric
According to Defensa Central, Modric wanted to say goodbye to all his teammates before starting his journey away from Bernabéu, but with Arda Güler he had a special gesture. He gave him his jersey, with the number 10 on the back. Then, they shared a hug.
It was a brief moment, but it was full of meaning. For Modric, it was the end of an era, for Arda, perhaps, the beginning of a legacy. The young Turk has always seen the Croatian as his main role model, his mirror, his example to follow.
The number 10, his greatest dream
Arda Güler has said several times that he dreams of being important at Real Madrid, but not only that. His most intimate wish is to someday wear the number 10. The same one Modric has worn for more than a decade.
In his first year as a Madridist, Arda has shown talent, patience, and humility. He has made the most of every minute and has learned from the best. Especially from Modric, whom he deeply admires.
Now, with the Croatian out of the team, that spot is open. Not just the number, but also the role of leader in midfield.
Arda knows that this level can only be reached with time, hard work, and personality. But the seed has already been planted.
The number 10 jersey is much more than a memory. It's an inspiration. A symbol of the path he wants to follow, and also a silent promise.
Arda Güler already keeps his greatest treasure. Modric's last jersey as a Real Madrid player. A photo that will go down in history and perhaps, in a few years, will become the first chapter of his own legend.
