Arda Güler prepares renewal for 2032
The deal between Arda Güler and Real Madrid is in place, and only the final documentation and official announcement from the club remains. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the terms are in place, and that the next step will be to formally announce the renewal.
The extension will add three seasons to the contract he signed after joining from Fenerbahçe in 2023. The current deal expires in June 2029, while the new deal will last until 2032.
The renewal also includes a salary increase for Güler. Real Madrid had started discussions to adjust his financial terms to reflect his role in the squad since José Mourinho’s arrival as coach.
Real Madrid secures Arda Güler after development
The sporting context explains Real Madrid’s decision. In the 2025/26 season, Arda Güler played 51 games, scoring 6 goals and providing 14 assists. In the Champions League, he played 14 games, scored 2 goals and had 3 assists.
His development was recognized by UEFA, which awarded him the 2025/26 Champions League Revelation award. Güler started in 13 of 14 games in the tournament and also won the MVP award in Real Madrid’s win over Juventus.
At the start of the 2026/27 season, the Turk had already participated in the first four league games, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist, according to AS. His importance has grown within the Portuguese coach’s setup.
Turkey keeps Güler as a central figure
Arda Güler’s importance is also evident for Turkey, where he has amassed 33 caps and 7 goals for the national team. He has maintained a prominent role in recent international matches.
His contract situation had also attracted attention outside Spain. The renewal allows Real Madrid to extend Güler’s commitment until 2032 before the existing contract enters its final phase, adjusting the financial terms of his new sporting status.
The next step is Real Madrid’s official announcement, likely accompanied by the presentation of the new contract terms. Until the club communicates the operation, the renewal of Arda Güler should be considered agreed, but pending public formalization.
