Well-known Turkey agent Erkut Sögöt has little sympathy for 17-year-old Arda Güler’s limited time at Fenerbahçe, making comparisons with other European clubs. He also commented on his client Mesut Özil’s rumors of change.
In the current season, Arda Güler has only played 29 minutes in four short appearances, far too little from Erkut Sögüt’s point of view. “He is one of the top 3 17-year-olds in all of Europe. Football academies across Europe, be they Portuguese, German or Dutch, have recognized him. If Arda Güler were to play in Portugal today, he would be at Sporting, Benfica and Porto. every game, even in Germany. In the Bundesliga he would have a permanent place in every game and would play everywhere, with the possible exception of Bayern Munich, “said the well-known player’s agent at a guest appearance on” Radyospor “. Sögüt is sure that the market value of Arda Güler in this case would be 100 million euros. That’s why he can’t understand why Fenerbahçe uses it so little. Meanwhile, the “canaries” had recently declared that they wanted to use their 17-year-old falling star only in doses to introduce it slowly into the professional sector without triggering an exaggerated clamor.
Erkut Sögüt was also clear about the rumors circulating about his client Mesut Özil during an interview. In the case of the 33-year-old former German international, Erkut Sögüt could very well have imagined moving to the American MLS last summer. “But there was no adequate offer. And anyway, it is no longer the case that clubs there are looking for players over the age of 30, except perhaps Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi,” said Sögüt. As is well known, Özil has moved from the “club of the heart” Fenerbahçe to the neighboring Başakşehir; and this despite the fact that the accident once declared that he wanted to play for Fenerbahçe only in Turkey. “Basically, nothing has changed in this attitude. A move to Galatasaray, Besiktas or Trabzonspor is out of the question”, explains Sögüt.
