The Turkiye international will be available for £4.4m unless he plays 1500 minutes of football this season.
As things stand Guler has 1038 minutes of football under his belt and would need to play every minute in the last five games to meet the terms of the clause in his contract.
Guler has made 29 appearances for Fenerbahce this season, starting in 12 games.
The 18-year-old has had a growing influence in the team as the season has progressed and played an important role in getting his side back in the title race over recent weeks.
Fenerbahce have managed to close the gap with league leaders Galatasaray to just three points.
