Former Manchester United and England star Rio Ferdinand has sent a message this week to Real Madrid midfielder Arda Güler, Crown88 reports.
The Turkish youngster has been a major talking point around the Bernabéu in recent months, with expectations that he’ll take on a much bigger role in Los Blancos’ XI for 2025/26. Xabi Alonso hinted as much during the recent Club World Cup, where Arda played a leading part and showcased the impressive physical transformation he’s undergone over the past year—now looking far better equipped for senior football, Crown88 notes.
Over the weekend, Arda posted a photo on Instagram highlighting his new physique. In the comments, Rio Ferdinand showed his approval, writing: “Flexing the new muscles,” with a string of emojis—another sign of the growing buzz around the 20-year-old heading into the new season, according to Crown88.
