In principle, the young Ottoman talent will communicate today which path he chooses; This Wednesday he is summoned by his coach Ismail Kartal

The time to defoliate the daisy is approaching. except surprise, the future of the Ottoman pearl Arda Güler will be defined shortly. The boy met yesterday with the president of Fenerbahçe, Ali Koç, and with the coach of the Istanbul team, Ismail Kartal, to communicate what decision he has decided to take.
Always hand in hand with his father and progenitor, Arda has serious and succulent proposals on the table from a good handful of European clubs. Among them, PSG, Benfica, Real Madrid or the aforementioned offer from FC Barcelona.
From Türkiye they took it for granted yesterday that The offer presented in person by Anderson da Souza Deco, de facto sports director (not yet official), was the one that most seduced the 18-year-old talent environment. They highly value the effort and interest of the Catalan club by sending an emissary of the highest consideration to Ottoman lands.

In this way, the total amount of the operation would not fall below 35 ‘kilos’.
