Real Madrid faces Betis at Benito Villamarín after successfully passing the Copa del Rey test. Considering that there is a Champions League match next week, Ancelotti has decided to make rotations in the starting eleven, an eleven in which Arda Güler has not been included. He doesn't fully convince him and didn't earn more minutes in the last match, having a lackluster performance and being criticized.
Arda Güler: Four options to leave Real Madrid
Hours before the match against Betis, his compatriot Nihat Kahveci spoke about Güler's possibility of eventually leaving Real Madrid.
"It all depends on him. If he wants to leave, his options are Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United," Nihat told As. "If he leaves there, these will be the teams he can go to."
Nihat didn't stop there, adding that "This decision will depend on Arda Güler. He can leave, show his quality, and come back much stronger. If he's not going to play there, Real Madrid's file can be closed."
"That's how it is, these levels are very demanding. Every match is like the chef's first course. You always have to be at your best," Nihat added.
Arda Güler's future is in doubt
Nobody knows what will happen with Arda Güler starting next season. So far this campaign, he has donned Real Madrid's jersey in 28 matches, being on the field for a total of 1,051 minutes. This has allowed him to score three goals and provide five assists, numbers that, in Ancelotti's eyes, are not enough.
Taking all this into account, it seems that Arda Güler could leave Real Madrid if this situation continues. He can't play too often, which prevents him from shining. Rumors suggest he might leave if Ancelotti remains in charge next season, something yet to be confirmed.
He signed a contract until 2029 and Florentino doesn't want to lose him for anything in the world. At 19 years old, it is considered that he needs minutes. In fact, the club doesn't see a loan as a bad option, with a possibility on the table that appeals to everyone.
Everything will depend on Ancelotti. Güler will stay if he is assured minutes as his prority is to wear Real Madrid's jersey, on the contrary he would request to leave. Florentino is willing to negotiate, as long as his definitive farewell is not included.
