The football world has been shaken after reports confirmed that Real Madrid’s rising star Arda Güler was arrested by police late last night on suspicion of using banned substances at a private party hosted at his home.
The incident occurred shortly after Güler’s long-awaited return to the pitch, a comeback that fans had been eagerly celebrating. Sources say the midfielder held a private gathering with friends and close teammates, but the celebration turned chaotic when law enforcement unexpectedly arrived at the residence.
Authorities confirmed that Güler was taken into custody for questioning regarding alleged substance use. However, they have not yet disclosed the specific substances involved or whether formal charges will be filed.
Real Madrid has yet to issue an official statement, while La Liga officials have said only that they are “monitoring developments closely.”
At just 20 years old, Güler is seen as one of football’s brightest young prospects. News of his sudden arrest has sent shockwaves across Spain and Turkey, with fans expressing disbelief and concern. Social media has been flooded with reactions, ranging from anger to heartbreak. One Madrid fan wrote, “This kid was supposed to be the future—please let this not be true.”
As of this morning, Güler’s representatives have not released a public response. Police officials have confirmed the investigation is still ongoing.
