Turkey’s national team head coach, Vincenzo Montella, has heaped praise on Real Madrid’s rising star, Arda Guler, describing the young midfielder as someone whose dreams have no limits.

Guler’s performance during Turkey’s victory over Iceland in the Nations League has sparked huge excitement back home, especially considering the 19-year-old’s connection with Real Madrid.

“Arda’s dreams have no limits and it is clear that he is happy to receive advice when he asks for it.

“That is why we are in a position to say that against Iceland we saw a very involved footballer, who always participates in an active way, and his attitude is very comforting for everyone.”

Fans want him to start for Real Madrid

The excitement surrounding Guler is not only limited to his performances for the national team. In Turkey, fans are now eagerly calling for him to secure a starting position at Real Madrid.

With the possibility of key players like Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos, and Jude Bellingham missing the upcoming match against Real Sociedad due to injuries, many are hopeful that Guler will make the starting XI.

So far, Guler has featured in four official matches this season but has started in just one. With his talent and ambition, the teenager continues to generate excitement both in Turkey and Madrid.
