On Thursday, Real Madrid announced the signing of Arda Guler from Fenerbahce. The 18-year-old, who has been likened to Lionel Messi due to their similar playstyles, has signed a six-year contract at the club.
Guler had been the subject of intense speculation over the last couple of weeks, with a number of top clubs coveting his signature. Barcelona were one of those, and it had looked likely that he would be heading to Catalonia.
Instead, Guler opted for Real Madrid earlier this week, and a deal has been quickly completed. The youngster has been welcomed to the club by a few of his new teammates, one of which is Vinicius Junior.
The Brazilian couldn’t resist poking fun at Barcelona over their failed attempts to sign Guler, highlighting a recurring trend of players opting to join Real Madrid over their El Clasico rivals.
Barcelona previously had interest in Vinicius himself, as well as Rodrygo and Endrick, before they all joined Real Madrid. It is certainly an area that Los Blancos have had the better of their bitter rivals over the last few years.

To be honest seeing Arda Guler I see another failure. Sincerely I really watch him on YouTube and see how he play so lovely but that guy is just too forward for his progress. Please whom can he bench in Madrid Midfield both 1st 11 or reserve? Why the hurry to play in Europe when you can actually keep developing where you are? Both Madrid and Barcelona have a very great Midfielders and he can bench non. You will be shock you may hear nothing about him again after now…. But I wish him luck in his new adventure. He will learn from the best in Madrid. I am a Barcelona fan though but am not hurt in anyway.
