Real Madrid announcement of Arda Guler has now hit another milestone record as it becomes the second most liked new Signing announcement on Twitter.
We reported earlier Arda Guler may be set for a great and heroic career with Real Madrid after his announcement post by Real Madrid hit a record number of likes on Twitter only behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
After Los Blancos dropped the footage of the young talent raising his two hands up in Real Madrid shirt with smiles of an imminent exciting new challenge, the social media has went buzzing.
Six days ago, Real Madrid’s announcement of Arda Guler was just 32k likes away from PSG’s announcement of Lionel Messi and 822k likes away from Manchester United’s announcement of Cristiano Ronaldo’s return.
Guler became the only footballer and perhaps the youngest player to generate such wild social media engagements which was epic and remarkable. It tells of the huge global following of the young talent and huge prospects ahead of him.
Now, as of the time of filing this report, Futballnews has learnt that Arda Guler’s announcement post has surpassed Lionel Messi’s 810k likes.
Guler is now closing in on a million Twitter likes to emerge second only behind Cristiano Ronaldo who is still standing tall with 1.8m likes.
The young midfield sensation is now at 940k likes, 130k above Lionel Messi and 760k likes less than Cristiano Ronaldo.
While the social media metrics has raised eyebrows, questions are already filtering in on whether Arda Guler could follow the trail of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo – the two biggest names in modern football.
Playing mainly as an attacking midfielder, Guler is known for his dynamism, pace, dribbling, and shooting skills. He is a prolific goal-scorer and threat-bearing attacker in the final third.
Guler is a left-footer just like Lionel Messi but can operate from the right wing as well. He scored 7 goals in 32 appearances for Fenerbahce before joining Real Madrid.
At 18, the Turkish youngster has already been drafted into Turkey national team and has registered his name on the scoresheet in his four appearances.
Whether Guler will attain the dizzying heights of Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi is what is not known. However, the fact that he is a promising and burgeoning youngster with an eye for greatness cannot be doubted.
Guler has penned a long term deal with Real Madrid with an undisclosed annual and weekly wages but he will certainly earn significantly more than his previous £1.7m annual wages at Fenerbahce.
His move to the La Liga club will further hone his skills, setting the stage for him to rise to the zenith of his career.
