Arda Guler had a Euro 2024 campaign to be proud off after playing a key role in helping Turkey make it to the quarter-finals. He scored an incredible goal against Georgia that will be remembered for a LONG time and showed the entire world why Real Madrid paid the big bucks to sign him at such a young age.
The Turkish sensation is currently enjoying his vacation period before being poised to rejoin his Real Madrid teammates ahead of the 2024/25 season. He’s currently taking time off to relax with his friends and family members but appears to be also going hard in the gym in the attempts to maintain his physical growth.
Guler missed a large part of the 2023/24 season due to injury issues, which restricted him to only 12 appearances for Los Blancos. That’s why he’s maintaining his strict gym schedule and he appears to have bumped into another popular Turkish celebrity in Ekin-Su Culculoglu during a recent gym session.
Arda gladly snapped a selfie with the popular Turkish TV actress and it didn’t take much time for this picture to go viral on Instagram. Some speculation swirled around on if Guler and Ekin-Su were a couple, but that isn’t the case at all.
Guler is happily single and focusing on improving his status in the Real Madrid squad. Both he and Ekin-Su are currently in significantly different professions and Ekin-Su has her own successful TV and modeling career going on.
For those unknowing, Ekin-Su is a popular model who has competed in many proimiennt beauty pageants in the past. But she really sky-rocketed to fame after winning the eighteen edition of the popular TV reality show Love Island with her partner Davide Sanclimenti. Ekin-Su broke up with Sanclimenti for the second time in January 2024, and is supposedly single ever since.
But the Turkish model seems to be more focused on her professional career than her personal life. Since her Love Island fame, Ekin-Su has appeared in reality shows like Dancing on Ice, The Wheel, Celebrity Big Brother and also the Traitors US. She hasn’t won any of these, but made a prominent showing to ensure her popularity keeps growing.
Ekin-Su is unfortunately receiving a lot of flak for just taking a picture with the popular Turkish footballer. Fans are urging the Real Madrid sensation to stay clear of the model and not to fall into the ‘trap’ of getting into a relationship.
Some fans are also warning Guler that he might get a visit from Florentino Perez and be warned of a potential relationship similar to how Mesut Ozil was embarrassed by Jose Mourinho upon joining Real Madrid in 2010.
Ozil is rumoured to have been mocked for his relationship with Aida Yespica, and Mourinho apparently told him that she’s slept with every member of Inter Milan and AC Mian’s squads.
This is rather unwarranted considering that there are no rumors of these two being close to each other. It just seems a case of them bumping up in the same gym and taking a selfie to commemorate their meeting.
Neither Arda nor Ekin-Su are going to pay much attention to the comments on their pair-up as both are focused on progressing their career. Guler is focused on becoming a Real Madrid regular and be a major goal threat for Los Blancos and Ekin-Su will be determined to break into the movie business after her success as a reality TV star.
