The story of how FC Barcelona missed the signing of Arda Güler

Burn Güler follows showing that, to his scarce 19 years, is a player that easily can be cataloged like a 'distinct'. The one of Ankara received the confidence of his trainer in the selection of Turkey, Vicenzo Montella, to form part of the eleven initial in the debut of the Eurocopa 2024 against Georgia. And how it answered? With an authentic golazo: a powerful shot with the left leg from out of the area and that finished incrustándose in the square of the goal defended by Mamardashvili. With this annotation, turned into one of the goleadores younger in the history of the Eurocopa, winning even more the admiration of the 'bloated' otomana, those who already begin it to call the 'Messi Turkish'.

Curiously, the 'Messi Turkish' was to at all to form part of the FC Barcelona in the market of past summer. Nevertheless, the operation finally fell because of economic problems that have been able to brake more than a transaction for the picture culé in the last time.

In fact, Güler was so near of the combined Catalan that even Deco, sportive director of the club of the City Condal, travelled to Turkey for ultimar the details of the operation. In principle, already there was a previous agreement with the Fenerbahçe, proprietary cast of his pass in this moment, in which it Burn went to be followed to loan by a year more, but this time being property of the Barça.

The reason whereby fell the traspaso of Burn Güler to the FC Barcelona

However, the Portuguese did not expect that this first operation, that had been advanced by Mateu Alemany, would be much more far to concretise of the expected. Although the agreement with the 'Yellow Canarians' kept the same, Deco did not have that the wish of Güler and his surroundings was to abandon the Turkish football the sooner possible. This did that the option to leave it yielded in the Fenerbahçe descartara, which added complexity to the negotiation.

Nevertheless, the sportive director culé, recognising the quality of the player and considering that it was worthwhile to do an effort for doing of his services, engaged to look for a new cession if it Burn Güler sealed his commitment with the FC Barcelona. This new movement seemed to have few hopes from the perspective of Deco, the one who knew that if some European club 'top' hinder in the bidding, probably would carry it to him, as finally sucedió. Shortly after it announced his signing by the Real Madrid, by a mount of 20 M€ more other 10 in variables, a mount that it could remain short if it continues with the ascending progression that him augura.
