Real Madrid’s Turkish sensation, Arda Güler, has moved swiftly to extinguish a growing controversy surrounding his relationship with his teammates.
The young playmaker found himself at the center of a media storm following startling claims made by Serhat Pekmezci, the former head of scouting at Fenerbahce.
Pekmezci, who played a key role in Güler’s early development, alleged that the 20-year-old was being subjected to bullying by other members of the Real Madrid squad—a narrative that the player has now categorically and emotionally rejected.
In a formal statement released to address the rumors, Arda Güler expressed deep disappointment that someone from his past would circulate such damaging reports.
He emphasized that his experience in the Spanish capital has been the polar opposite of what was described, noting that the senior figures in the locker room have provided nothing but mentorship and warmth since his arrival. “I have watched these statements with sadness,” Güler remarked, reinforcing the idea that the bond within the current squad is one of mutual respect rather than hostility.

The Turkish international was eager to remind supporters and the press alike that he views Real Madrid as a second family.
By publicly defending his teammates, Güler aimed to protect the unity of Alvaro Arbeloa’s squad during a critical juncture of the season.
“From day one, I have been warmly welcomed by everyone at this club,” he added, urging fans to disregard any reports suggesting tension behind the scenes.
He made it clear that his focus remains entirely on his development and his desire to represent the “Los Blancos” badge for many years to come.
This firm denial serves as a significant relief for the club’s administration, who have worked hard to maintain a harmonious environment following the high-profile departures of veteran leaders.
By taking a stand against his former mentor’s comments, Güler has not only cleared the air but also demonstrated a level of maturity that matches his on-field talent.
As the team gears up for their upcoming challenges, the “Turkish Diamond” remains happy, integrated, and fully committed to the collective success of the reigning European champions.
