Barca Targeting A Move For 'Turkish Lionel Messi'

Arda Guler linked with a host of clubs in Europe

FC Barcelona have open to the idea of Lionel Messi returning, but the club could sign a rising star from Turkey dubbed the "Turkish Messi".

The Catalan giants have been no stranger to getting in young talent over the years, most notably Pedri and Ronald Araujo who are now both regulars in the first team.

Despite reports claiming the club won't be able to sign players, they have been keeping an eye on Fenerbahce youngster Arda Guler ahead of the 2023/2024 season.

The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has made 21 appearances across all competitions for Fenerbahce this campaign, while contributing with three goals and two assists.

Spanish publication Diario AS have reported that the Turkish Lig outfit could lose their young star for just  €5million due to a clause in his contract.

Reports in Spain claim that the Catalan giants are set to be all over a deal for the youngster if the clause is triggered, as they look to continue with brining in young talented players.

The report from Diario AS claims that fellow LaLiga sides Atletico Madrid and Sevilla are also among the teams interested in a move for the 18-year-old.
