Arda Guler is expected to leave Fenerbahce this summer, with many clubs around Europe have expressed interest in signing him. However, his next destination has looked like being Spain, with Barcelona and Real Madrid being the frontrunners.

Following discussions with Deco last week, Barcelona was in the lead to sign Guler, but latest reports from Turkey confirm that the teenager has chosen to join Real Madrid this summer instead.

Real Madrid will pay €20m to Fenerbahce, who will retain 20% sell-on as part of the deal. Contrary to Barcelona, who offered the player to join them only in 2024, Guler is likely to join Carlo Ancelotti's team now. This week will see the final negotiations to complete the process.
