Newcomer of Real Madrid, Turkish midfielder Arda Guler, told about his choice. Also in a conversation with journalists, he shared the details of his transfer.
The young footballer, who was nicknamed "Turkish Messi" admitted that he had many offers from different clubs.
"When there was an opportunity to move to Real Madrid, all other options lost their appeal. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti called me on the phone and expressed his desire to see me in the team. Ancelotti also said what position he sees me in. We had a lot of conversations about it," he noted.
According to the Turkish midfielder, he is more comfortable playing in the center of the field, but he is ready to fight for a place in the lineup and show himself in attack, helping the team to score goals.
"The position on the pitch will be determined by the coach. I can play either in the center of the pitch or on the right side," he added.
"Real" paid for Guler to Turkish "Fenerbahce" 20 million euros. The footballer signed a contract with the "cream" for six years.
