It became a disappointing period for the Turkish midfielder

Nuri Sahin made his debut in professional football for Dortmund when he was only 16 years old. With that debut, he became the youngest debutant in the Bundesliga of all time. When Sahin was only 23 years old, he had already played more than 100 matches for Borussia Dortmund.

The performances of the left-footed Turkish midfielder and the award for 'Best Player of the Bundesliga' stood out among the European top clubs. Eventually, Real Madrid drew the longer straw and bought Sahin for €10 million euros.

Unfortunately, Nuri Sahin could not impress at 'Los Blancos'. The midfielder only played 1 season in Madrid where he played 4 official matches.
