Arda Güler Makes a Decision after Carlo Ancelotti's Latest: 'The Priority Is...'

Carlo Ancelotti doesn't trust the young Turk, who's already looking for a new destination. He doesn't like it at all

Arda Güler couldn't believe it when he heard the latest from Carlo Ancelotti. The Real Madrid manager, questioned about the player's lack of minutes, has been very clear. He's virtually ruling out that the situation could change. Ahead of the match against Osasuna, the Italian doesn't seem to have any intention of bringing the Turk onto the field.

"The collective idea is to get through this as quickly as possible. Can we get through it with Endrick? Yes. Can we get through it with Arda Güler? Yes. But the objective is to get through this moment as quickly as possible, not to give more minutes to this one or that one," said Ancelotti.

The reality is that Arda Güler doesn't believe that the situation will improve and has made a decision: leaving Real Madrid. He doesn't want to continue being marginalized and considers that the best option for his career is to leave. He doesn't care if he is transferred or loaned; what he wants is minutes and continuity.

Arda Güler Decides to Leave after Ancelotti's Latest Incident: Surprise at Real Madrid

He signed a contract until 2029 and Florentino doesn't want to lose him, no matter what. At 19 years old, he's considered to need minutes and the club is not against a loan. So there could be a possibility on the table that everyone likes.

If he does end up leaving, the most likely option is for Arda Güler to continue in Spain. He's improved his Spanish language skills after more than a year in the country and wants to continue learning about the culture, as well as completing his adaptation to La Liga.

The interest has been there for some time and Madrid-Barcelona has been able to confirm that it's still valid. Real Sociedad want Arda. He fits in and they offer him a place in the team.

The relationship between the two clubs is excellent after several moves together. San Sebastian is trying to make Arda Güler see that he can take the next step in his career there. They have put two examples on the table: Odegaard and Kubo.

Both have similarities with their case at Real Madrid. They are young,  came out in search of playing time and were both successful at Real Sociedad, taking the next step in their careers and developing in the Basque Country.

At this point, Ancelotti has already made it clear that what he's looking for is to win, not to develop players. Arda Güler has taken note of this: It's time to leave Real Madrid.
