Arda Guler has endeared himself to the Real Madrid faithful in the most unique way. The 'Turkish Messi' accidentally interrupted club president Florentino Perez who was still making his speech during his introduction.

It was an awkward moment that quickly went viral on social media. The 18-year-old was signed from Turkish giants Fenerbahce in a deal reportedly around 20m euros.

Perez called his name and then appeared to ask guests in the room to clap for the youngster. However, Guler apparently thought Perez was done with his speech but was mistaken.

He awkwardly stood beside the club president as he finished the speech. It was an awkward moment that left many in the room speechless. Still, that is surely a unique way to introduce yourself to the Real Madrid faithful.

Perez was relaxed about the situation and didn't seem like he was bothered by his new signing, standing innocently next to him as he continued with his speech, per Real French Madrid.

Why did Madrid sign Guler?

The simplest reason why the European giants signed the young forward is he was reportedly drawing a lot of interest from rivals like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle United, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and French giants Paris St-Germain.

Moreover, he scored four goals and supplied four assists last season in the Turkish Super Lig, per Transfermarkt. He also produced an outstanding performance in the Turkish Cup final.

Guler now joins a crop of exciting young players at Real Madrid, including Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga.

Guler's emotional moment with his mother

Sports Brief earlier reported on Guler sharing an emotional moment with his mother.

Guler's mother was unable to hold back his emotions after seeing her teenage son presented as a Real Madrid player. As a video of the highlights of Güler’s career so far was played at Real Madrid, Serap Guler could be seen shedding tears.

The left-footed playmaker helped his mum wipe the tears away and kissed her on the cheek. Guler's father took his wife's hand to comfort her, too.
