Arda Güler's future at Real Madrid remains uncertain. The young Turk arrived hoping to shine at the white club, but the lack of playing time has been a difficult obstacle to overcome. Now, with more competition in his position and the possible arrival of a new star, his continuity in the team seems increasingly complicated.
Since his signing, Arda Güler has struggled with injuries and lack of rhythm. Despite his talent, the coach hasn't fully given him the confidence he needs.
Other young players, like Brahim Díaz and the upcoming reinforcement Endrick, have moved ahead of him in the rotation. The situation doesn't improve with the possible return of another talent who is shining far from Madrid.
Nico Paz: the best in Serie A
In Italy, a young Argentine is making history. Nico Paz, who was transferred last summer to Como, has shown an exceptional level in Serie A.
His talent and maturity have caught the attention of the Madrid management, who are closely monitoring his evolution. Unlike other youth players who leave without a return option, Madrid retained a buyback clause for him.
The white team has the power to bring him back for 9 million euros, a figure that will increase over time. For now, the club is evaluating whether it's the right time to execute that option.
A return that complicates Güler
If Nico Paz returns to Madrid, Güler will have even fewer opportunities. The Argentine plays in a similar position and has shown he can perform in a demanding league like the Italian one. Additionally, he has the confidence of Cesc Fàbregas, who has been key in his development at Como.
With each match, Paz reinforces the idea that he's ready to make the leap to Madrid. If the club finally executes his buyback, Güler's departure could be imminent. The young Turk needs playing time and, given this scenario, everything points to him seeking a new destination where he can be a protagonist.
Madrid has control of the situation. In the coming months, the club will decide whether to bring back Nico Paz or let him continue his growth in Italy. Meanwhile, Güler and his entourage are beginning to evaluate alternatives.
