Born on 25 February 2005, Arda Güler is a left-footed attacking midfielder and right winger whose precocious creativity has made him a focal point for fans and collectors alike. Known for his vision and dribbling, he rose through the Turkish youth system and quickly attracted international attention, a trajectory that has also made his signed shirt and authentic autograph sought after on Walkouts. This biography traces the milestones that give provenance to memorabilia and explains why official collectibles matter for supporters.
Güler began his journey in Ankara at youth club Gençlerbirliği, joining their academy in 2014. He was recruited by Fenerbahçe on 20 February 2019, aged 13, and progressed through every youth level before signing his first professional contract on 13 January 2021. Those formative years established his technical base and produced early glimpses of the playmaking ability that now defines his style.
He made his senior debut for Fenerbahçe in the UEFA Europa League play-off against HJK on 19 August 2021, and his domestic rise was rapid. In March 2022 he became Fenerbahçe's youngest goalscorer in the Süper Lig, and following the departure of Mesut Özil he inherited the iconic number 10 shirt. Highlights at the club included a goal and an assist in a European victory on 3 November 2022, and a man of the match performance in the Turkish Cup final on 11 June 2023.
On 6 July 2023, Güler signed for Real Madrid on a six year deal running to June 2029. After overcoming early injuries he made his Real Madrid debut in the Copa del Rey on 6 January 2024, won the Supercopa de España on 14 January 2024, and made his La Liga bow on 27 January 2024. Key league moments included his first La Liga goal on 10 March 2024, his first start with a goal on 26 April 2024, and a brace on 19 May 2024. He was part of the squad that secured the UEFA Champions League title in the 2023-24 season.
Across the 2024-25 campaign he made his Champions League group debut on 17 September 2024, scored in La Liga on 7 December 2024, and produced decisive performances in rare consecutive starts on 23 April 2025 and 4 May 2025. Those appearances underlined his capacity to change games in short bursts and added to the provenance of match‑worn shirts and certified memorabilia linked to meaningful fixtures.
Internationally, Güler progressed through Turkey's youth teams and made his senior debut on 19 November 2022. He scored his first senior international goal on 19 June 2023 in a Euro 2024 qualifier. At UEFA Euro 2024 he was named Player of the Match after scoring on his tournament debut on 18 June 2024, becoming the first teenager to score on a European Championship debut since 2004. He also assisted in the round of 16 victory on 3 July 2024, joining an elite group of teenagers to both score and assist in a single European Championship.
Güler's honours include the Turkish Cup 2022-23, La Liga 2023-24, the Supercopa de España 2024, the UEFA Champions League 2023-24, the UEFA Super Cup 2024 and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2024. Individual recognition has followed, with a notable finish as Kopa Trophy runner-up 2024 and a La Liga U23 Player of the Month award for December 2024. These honours create natural anchors for authenticated memorabilia, linking objects to specific competitions and dates.
For collectors, a certified Arda Güler signed shirt is more than merchandise, it is a documented piece of a developing career. Official provenance, match context, and association with milestone fixtures enhance the story behind a piece of memorabilia. As his career unfolds, Walkouts offers authenticated items that connect fans to those defining moments, and preserve the tangible link between player, club and history.
