The bidding war has already made things difficult for clubs to sign great players. The clubs are now using another method to get highly talented players around the globe. The hunt for talent at a very young age has become the norm. You might have thought that Real Madrid has already won the transfer war with Jude Bellingham’s signing with his current performances. But a recent claim may scare the rest of the teams. One of Real’s other acquisitions is now considered a better talent than Lionel Messi.

Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have always been on tenterhooks with signings. However, Real Madrid has been able to hijack many players who were in the plans of both the Spanish giants. The last such player to enter Los Blancos may add more salt to Barcelona’s rage.

Teammate of Jude Bellingham has better potential than Lionel Messi

Real Madrid has not managed either a Champions League or La Liga this year. The team seems to be in transition, with players like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos getting old and Karim Benzema leaving. But Jude Bellingham’s recent performances have taken the soccer world by storm. The club could not be happier since its other star, Arda Guler, is shockingly considered better than Lionel Messi by his former coach at Genclerbirligi.

In an interview with AS, Erol Tokgözler said, “Messi is the greatest I’ve ever seen, and Arda has great abilities. Messi has already achieved everything, and Arda has to do it. He is still a kid. But if we talk about potential purely, Arda has more potential than Messi.”
