Galatasaray signs Can Armando Güner

Galatasaray has added another young and promising talent to its squad in the final stretch of the winter transfer window. A 4.5-year agreement has finally been reached with Can Armando Güner, who was brought to Istanbul in January but could not sign an official contract at that time.

The 18-year-old player, who has both German and Turkish roots, had drawn attention with his performance for Borussia Mönchengladbach's U19 team this season. Güner scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists in 14 matches in Germany. These statistics, particularly for a player who operates on the right wing, were influential in Galatasaray's persistence in the transfer.

The transfer process had previously stalled due to disagreements between the clubs, and the young player had cut his visit to Istanbul short and returned to Germany. At that time, the official signing was postponed as a potential issue regarding a FIFA appeal had been raised. However, following a recent agreement between the parties, Can Armando Güner has signed a long-term contract with Galatasaray.

The decision-making process regarding Güner's national team career is still ongoing. The player, whose father is Turkish and mother is German, previously played for the Argentina U17 team. As he holds both Turkish and German citizenship, there is curiosity about which country's senior national team the young footballer will choose. The player's grandmother is Argentine.

On the other hand, it has been learned that officials from the Turkish Football Federation have also made efforts to encourage the young star to choose Turkey for his national team career. Can Armando Güner had joined Germany's youth national teams at the beginning of his career and later responded to a call from Argentina. He has not yet made a definitive decision at the senior national team level. The fact that the young forward is often deployed on the right wing in Argentine teams demonstrates his versatility in the attacking line.
