Guler was dubbed the ‘Turkish Messi’ after his excellent displays for Fenerbahce last season, where he scored six goals in 35 appearances.
The 18-year-old attracted attention from several top clubs before signing for Real Madrid, who already added Jude Bellingham to their ranks this summer.
“I want to become a Real Madrid legend,” Guler said at his unveiling.
“Thank you for choosing Real Madrid to build your story. At just 18 years old, you fulfil one of your big dreams,” said Florentino Perez, the Real Madrid president.
