At a young age, Neymar himself was one of the best footballers in the world. The Brazilian currently has a lot for a youngster.
The Brazilian superstar experienced the best years of his career at FC Barcelona between 2013 and 2017. The veteran is now trying to make a name for himself for the World Cup in the summer after many injuries and setbacks at home club Santos. The Selecao’s record goalscorer is still present in the media.
In a video on the YouTube channel of former Turkish footballer Aycan Yanac the 33-year-old raved about Arda Güler. Real Madrid’s top talent is an excellent player. “He has quality. In my opinion he is the best midfielder in the world,” Neymar went even further.
Güler like Guti and Özil once did? It’s not just Neymar who raves about Real-Jewel
The 20-year-old Güler has finally made his breakthrough at Real Madrid this season. Under Xabi Alonso, who is now no longer in office, the highly talented player became a regular player and increased his market value to 90 million euros. He has scored three goals and eight assists in all competitions so far.
Alonso ennobled his former protégé back in October and compared him to two of Royal’s former midfield greats. “He is a mixture of Özil and Guti. Guti had the ability to act a little more from deep as well as to play the final pass. It was the same with Mesut. I really enjoyed playing with him,” said the former Leverkusen coach, whose tenure as Real coach came to an abrupt end on Monday.
Güler was trained at Genclerbirligi and Fenerbahce before Real Madrid shelled out almost 26 million euros for the then 18-year-old in 2023. Under Carlo Ancelotti he was mostly only in demand as a joker, but he repeatedly showed his immense talent. After parting ways with Alonso, the young playmaker now has to prove himself under his successor Alvaro Arbeloa.
