Arda Güler, the great promise of Turkish soccer, isn't experiencing his best moment at Real Madrid. After arriving at the club with high expectations, the Turkish attacking midfielder has found himself relegated to a secondary role.
The lack of playing time has led Güler to reconsider his future and request to leave, especially if Carlo Ancelotti remains in charge of the team. Real Madrid's response to this situation has been clear: a signing of 9 million euros.
Arda Güler's Situation
Arda Güler landed at Real Madrid with the label of a great promise of Turkish soccer. At just 18 years old, his talent was undeniable, and he was expected to play an important role in the team.
However, his adaptation to the club hasn't been easy. The attacking midfielder hasn't received the playing time that was promised at the beginning of the season. His situation has become more complicated with the arrival of Nico Paz, who has excelled at Como.
The young Turk has found himself relegated to the bench on many occasions, something that hasn't sat well with him. He has even shown frustration with the lack of opportunities, which has led Güler to make a drastic decision. According to Eduardo Inda, Arda has informed the club that he will request to leave, either on loan or transferred, if he doesn't get more playing time next year.
Unfulfilled Promises
In the preseason, both Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti assured that Güler would have a different role. In fact, he was promised more prominence and minutes on the field. However, those promises haven't been fulfilled, and Güler's situation remains unchanged.
Despite his efforts to adapt to the team, the attacking midfielder has seen other players take his place in the starting eleven. This has caused his discontent, which has increased as the season progressed.
The Possible Departure and Internal Competition
Arda Güler's situation is even more complex due to the internal competition that exists at Real Madrid. With Nico Paz's return to the club and his great level at Como, Güler's opportunities are further reduced.
The young Argentine footballer is standing out in Italy, and Real Madrid has already shown interest in bringing him back. This would leave Güler with even fewer chances to play.
If Ancelotti stays, Güler might not have a place in the squad and would seek to leave. Although it's unknown whether it will be a loan or a transfer, the player's future is uncertain.
