After Deco’s trip to Istanbul, FC Barcelona has been in pole position in the race to obtain the services of the Turkish pearl
The three parties advanced this Thursday in a principle according to which only details remain to be polished to become a reality
Joan Laporta recognized in the ‘Onze’ of ‘Esport3’ that FC Barcelona is very interested in the signing of Arda Guler (18 years old) and that Deco traveled to Istanbul yesterday to negotiate with Fenerbahce. As SPORT has been able to learn, the Barça sports management is optimistic about the incorporation of the Turkish pearl after the conversations that have taken place in the last few hours. The culé entity, right now, is in the ‘pole position’ of the race to obtain the services of one of the most promising footballers on the continent.
The president of Barça also made it clear that, if the operation succeeds, Güler will land in Xavi Hernández’s team in 2024. “LaLiga allows us to carry out operations that do not count for this year & rdquor ;, she declared. This option fits perfectly into Fenerbahce’s plans, interested in having the young talent for another year. The player’s priority, on his part, is to have continuity, which is why he is willing to continue a season in his country to continue growing professionally before making the leap to the highest level.
The three parties advanced this Thursday in a principle according to which only details remain to be polished to become a reality. There are still fringes to close and in no case can the operation be taken for granted, but Barça has made the right moves to be, right now, the most likely destination for Güler, the attacker for whom up to eight clubs are fighting -with Real Madrid and Milan as the most interested teams – from the first European level. Deco is very close to getting the signing of his first big bet as sports director of the club.
The satisfaction of the culé technical secretariat after the latest advances is considerable. Barça is the best placed in the race for Güler and that, taking into account the extreme competition there is for him, is great news. The economic situation of the entity continues to be very delicate, but Joan Laporta insisted on the ‘Onze’ in the speech that he has maintained since he returned to the presidency: “All world-class players prioritize Barça& rdquor;. Arda, in principle, will not be any exception.
