Breaking news: As soon as the number 10 shirt was given to Mbappé, Arda Güler went crazy and shouted at his senior “You came here to be famous. I…”

Santiago Bernabéu – An atmosphere of unprecedented tension has just erupted inside Real Madrid’s dressing room after the club officially announced that the iconic number 10 jersey would be handed to Kylian Mbappé — the high-profile newcomer signed on a free transfer, but treated like royalty.

And the first to explode over that decision was none other than Arda Güler – the young Turkish talent long expected to inherit the number 10 after Luka Modrić’s departure.

According to an internal source, Arda couldn’t hide his disappointment. While most of the locker room remained silent after the board’s announcement, Güler suddenly stood up, walked straight toward Mbappé — who was still smiling with the coaching staff — and shouted loudly in Spanish:

“You came here for fame. I’m here for my dreams and my blood!”

The entire dressing room fell into silence.

The mood quickly turned heavy, with players like Vinícius Jr and Jude Bellingham trying to calm the situation. Mbappé — clearly taken aback by Güler’s outburst — reportedly didn’t respond, simply turning away and continuing with the internal press briefing.

Why was Arda Güler so angry?

Many fans have expressed sympathy for Arda. He had turned down offers from top European clubs to choose Real Madrid, fully aware that competition would be fierce. Though he wasn’t used much last season, every time he stepped onto the pitch, he left a strong impression — especially with a streak of late-season goals that helped keep Madrid unbeaten.

Even Luka Modrić publicly praised Arda as “the brightest future of Madrid’s midfield,” and it was rumored that Modrić personally wanted to pass the number 10 jersey to Güler before departing.

But everything changed with just one handshake between Mbappé and President Florentino Pérez.

The looming question: Is Real Madrid choosing glamour over loyalty?

The incident has deeply divided the Madridista fanbase. One side supports Mbappé — a global superstar who they believe deserves the club’s most prestigious number. The other side argues that the board has overlooked the hard work and quiet dedication of young players like Güler — who bled for the badge all season without fanfare.

So far, Real Madrid has not issued any official statement. However, Spanish media report that Carlo Ancelotti has instructed both players not to speak to the press about the matter and plans to address it privately in the coming days.

The bigger question remains:
Will Arda Güler stay and fight for his place — or is this the beginning of a painful and premature goodbye?
