Real Madrid star responds to claims of dressing room bullying | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Arda Güler has taken to social media, to firmly deny claims of internal bullying in the club’s dressing room.

This comes fresh off a headline-grabbing round of comments on the part of one of those credited with unearthing the midfielder’s talents.

The individual in question comes in the form of Serhat Pekmezci, former head of scouting at Fenerbahçe.

Speaking during an interview with Sports Digitale, Pekmezci drew attention to alleged bullying on the part of some of the more high-profile members of Álvaro Arbeloa’s squad:

“Arda Guler is being subjected to mobbing (bullying). It’s not that he complained to me, but he knew this would happen. I told him to be patient.”

As alluded to above, though, Arda has himself since moved to shut down any such claims in their tracks.

Taking to his official Instagram account, the 20-year-old unveiled a personal statement, assuring that he has always been treated well by his teammates and the Real Madrid staff alike:
