Real Madrid star has gained 8kg of muscle | OneFootball

A member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid has put on a considerable 8kg of muscle since his arrival at the club.

That’s according to Diario AS, who point towards Arda Güler as the player in question.

Youngster Güler is of course widely expected to play a much more prominent role in Spain’s capital this coming season.

After struggling for regular starts under the watch of Carlo Ancelotti over the last two years, the Turk has since gained the full confidence of new manager Xabi Alonso.

As much was made clear during this summer’s Club World Cup, when Güler acted as a pillar in Real Madrid’s midfield.

And as alluded to above, this uptick in prominence for the 20-year-old should not be considered a coincidence.

Instead, it has come as a result of hard work and commitment on Güler’s part.

As revealed by AS on Wednesday:

‘The gym work he’s been doing has earned him between eight and ten kilos of muscle (he’s jumped from 62 kilos to over 70). He’s achieved this thanks to a total commitment to his lifestyle: he lives with his physio, his fitness trainer, and his chef.’
