MADRID: Spanish giants Real Madrid have unveiled Turkish teenager Adra Guler as their latest acquisition, hoping to revive their fortunes both in La Liga and in European football after a disappointing season.
The club unveiled the 18-year-old player at a ceremony that took place at Real Madrid City and began with the projection of a video with the best footage featuring the player.
Before the presentation ceremony, Arda Guler signed a new contract for six seasons in the boardroom at Real Madrid City, accompanied by club president Florentino Perez. After the signing, he was presented with a watch, a replica of the Santiago Bernabeu and a shirt with his name and number 24.
"At just 18 years of age, you have already fulfilled one of the greatest dreams of your life. You have come to Real Madrid, the club that has won 14 European Cups," said club president Florentino Perez.
With many players including stars like Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard leaving the club after the 2022-23 season, Real Madrid have launched a rebuilding process. Unveiling Adra Guler was a step in that direction. IANS
