Barcelona lining up move for Turkish starlet Arda Guler
Barcelona have reportedly expressed an interest in making an audacious move for Fenerbahce teenage sensation Arda Guler.
The 18-year-old had a breakthrough season with the Turkish outfit during the 2021-22 campaign and has since become a regular player throughout the current season.
The teenager has scored four goals and provided three assists in 23 appearances across all competitions, bringing his total for the club to seven goals and eight assists in 39 matches. However, his contract with Fenerbahce will expire in just two years, and it appears that the club will have a difficult time retaining him.
It is expected that interest in Guler will increase in the coming months, and Barcelona have now reportedly entered the race for his signature.
The Barcelona management reportedly believes that the Turkey international has the potential to become a world-class player.
Fenerbahce are unwilling to sell Guler for anything less than €20m, but despite their financial concerns, the Catalan giants may be able to afford the transfer.
Barcelona’s priority for the upcoming transfer window is recruiting young talent and signing experienced players on free transfers, as they cannot compete with Premier League clubs for big-name transfers.
