Spanish giants Barcelona are readying an imminent swoop for an up-and-coming member of the first-team setup at Fenerbahce, according to reports.
The Fener youngster in question? Arda Guler.
For those not aware, Guler is a gifted attacking midfielder, widely considered to be one of the finest talents in not only Turkey, but all of Europe.
The starlet is fresh off a breakout campaign in his home country, which saw him rack up six goals and seven assists in 35 appearances, despite, remarkably, having only turned 18 back in February.
Guler is a fully established senior international, too, boasting a solitary goal across four appearances in Turkey colours.

Already drawing comparisons with seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, it should therefore come as little surprise to hear that a whole host of the continent’s heavyweight clubs have begun expressing an interest in the teen’s signature.
As per a report from Spanish outlet Diario Sport, Barcelona are readying a summer assault to bring Guler to the Camp Nou.
The powers that be at the freshly-crowned La Liga champions are understood to have made the decision that the versatile midfielder is a must have in their ranks, therefore prepared to ‘give everything’ courtesy of an imminent offer for his services.
❗️Barcelona are going ‘with everything’ to sign Arda Güler. The decision has been made. There’s optimism.
