Neymar Hails Real Madrid’s Arda Güler as the World’s Best Midfielder

The comment refocuses attention on the 19-year-old’s rise at Real Madrid, with reports of a €90 million Arsenal bid still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Neymar made the remark during a visit to Santos when asked by Aycan Yanaç about emerging Turkish talents, calling Arda Güler an incredible player with top quality.
  • The praise drew wide online attention and discussion, reflecting the weight Neymar’s opinion carries given his stature in the sport.
  • Güler, 19, has neared 100 Real Madrid appearances since 2023, with 15 goals and 19 assists, and has nine goal contributions in 19 matches this season.
  • News18, citing Spanish outlet E-Notices, reports Arsenal are monitoring Güler and are said to be preparing an offer of about €90 million, which has not been verified.
  • Real Madrid’s willingness to sell remains unclear, and recent reporting notes Güler has seen fewer starts in recent weeks under Xabi Alonso.
