Arda Güler, the bright young talent of Turkish football, is making European sports media rise when he is said to have officially expressed his desire to leave Real Madrid right in May. According to close sources from the Spanish royal team, Güler felt dissatisfied with the current situation when he was not given many opportunities to play, despite recovering completely after the injury.

Joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2023 from Fenerbahçe with a transfer fee of about 20 million euros, Arda Güler is expected to become part of the team’s long -term plan. However, his first season at Santiago Bernabéu was not as smooth as expected. The endless injuries of the season made Güler miss almost the entire first leg, and when he came back, he had difficulty competing in his position with experienced stars like Jude Bellingham, Luka Modrić or Toni Kroos.

Although every time he played, Arda Güler always showed his efforts and desires, it was not enough for him to score points in the eyes of coach Carlo Ancelotti. Therefore, the Turkish midfielder expressed his desire to leave Real Madrid to seek more often, thereby maintaining his own performance and development. This is considered a difficult but necessary decision for a young player of his career development age like him.

On the Real Madrid side, senior management also met and made a decision related to the future of Güler. Accordingly, they do not object to the player’s leave, but the priority will be a loan contract instead of selling. The club wants Arda to gain more experience in another team, then will return to the Bernabéu when ready. Some teams in La Liga and Serie A soon expressed their attention, including Sevilla, Real Sociedad and AC Milan.
In the context of the approaching Euro 2024, Arda Güler also understood that regular competition would give him the opportunity to participate in the Turkish team. The departure of loan may be the most reasonable solution for all parties involved.
The future of Arda Güler at Real Madrid is temporarily closed, but with talent and aspiration, fans still believe that this is just a strategic step back before he can return and shine as originally expected.
