Real Madrid Confidencial Madrid Forced to Pay a Fortune for Arda Güler, Ancelotti Couldn't Prevent It
The white team included a transfer bonus of 4M to be paid when the Turkish midfielder reached 50 matches
Real Madrid Has Had to Make a New Payment for Arda Güler. According to Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, the club has paid 4 million euros to Fenerbahçe as a bonus.
The reason? Very clear. Arda Güler has reached 50 official matches with Real Madrid. That automatically activated a clause included in his transfer contract.
The club was already aware of this clause. It was agreed upon in the summer of 2023. Carlo Ancelotti couldn't prevent it from being fulfilled, because Güler has been gaining prominence in recent weeks.
A Costly but Inevitable and Positive Clause
Güler joined Real Madrid for about 20 million euros fixed. But the agreement with Fenerbahçe included several variables. One of them was this payment for reaching 50 official matches.
The young Turkish talent surpassed that number this week. Madrid had to pay another 4 million. A high price, but the club considers it reasonable if Güler continues to grow as he has been.
Additionally, there is another curious point in the agreement. Fenerbahçe has the right to play a friendly match against Real Madrid. This is also confirmed by Sabuncuoğlu.
That match doesn't have a date yet, but it could be played in Türkiye. It would be a special event, much desired by Fenerbahçe fans, who still fondly remember their gem.
Ancelotti Wants Him More Prominent
Carlo Ancelotti has praised Arda Güler in several press conferences. The Italian coach has highlighted his talent, vision, and evolution. In recent matches, the Turk has had more minutes. He has even been a starter in key matches.
Güler has replied with quality, goals, and personality. His growth is evident. The club sees him as a future investment, even if it involves additional payments.
Madrid Continues to Bet Strongly on Him. Everything points to him having a much more important role next season, especially if Ancelotti remains on the bench.
The clause has been activated. The money is already paid. But at Real Madrid, no one regrets it. Arda Güler has come to stay. Do you want me to prepare a visual version for social media or an infographic of the agreement?
