Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde has heaped praise on his teammate Arda Guler, suggesting that the young Turkish player has only scratched the surface of his potential, according to Sportskeeda. According to Valverde, Guler has yet to reach even 30% of his capabilities, a staggering assessment given the 19-year-old's impressive performances towards the end of the season.
Valverde's comments came in response to a question on The Residency app, where he was asked about his relationship with Guler and his thoughts on the youngster's talent. "I get along really well with Arda," Valverde said. "As long as Brahim translates for me. He's an incredible player, and we've still only seen 30% of what he is."
Guler's potential has been widely recognized, with many considering him one of the most exciting young players in Europe. His impressive performances for Fenerbahce last season earned him a move to Real Madrid, where he has struggled to find regular playing time due to injury. However, towards the end of the campaign, Guler showed glimpses of his talent, scoring six goals in his last five league appearances.
Valverde's comments suggest that Guler's best is yet to come, and that Real Madrid have a potential superstar on their hands. With the young Turkish player still developing his skills and gaining experience, it's exciting to think about what the future holds for him and Los Blancos.
