Florentino Pérez's Reaction: Player Joins and Leaves Real Madrid for €40M

Miguel Gutiérrez's days at Girona are numbered: Florentino will bring him back and sell him for a much higher price.

Florentino Pérez is keeping an eye on what the market may bring. He's now preparing a deal that will generate a lot of profit for Real Madrid. He had the opportunity on the table last summer but preferred to reject it. Now he doesn't intend to let it slip away and is already preparing the 8 million euros he needs to recover Miguel Gutiérrez.

Miguel Gutiérrez, 23, has been standing out for years at Girona. While his return to Real Madrid is closel, he won't be here to stay. Florentino has 8 million euros ready to pay the price of his return to the white team, but the truth is that he won't have a place in the Merengue squad.

The plan of the Real Madrid president is to cash in and get rid of Miguel Gutiérrez for good. His return costs 8 million euros, but he's aroused the interest of several European giants, such as United, who are willing to pay much more.

Rather than someone else taking him, the club that trained him will instead. This is what Florentino Pérez thought and what he intends to do. Miguel will return for 8 million and will leave for much more. His departure has been valued at 40 million, according to what Madrid-Barcelona's been able to find out.

Miguel Gutiérrez: without a Place at Real Madrid

Although he's a player that president Florentino Pérez likes, the reality is that he has no place at Real Madrid. The intention is to close the transfer of Alphonso Davies at no cost. He's a player destined to dominate the left wing at the Bernabéu for the next few years.

Behind Alphonso Davies will be another top player in Ferland Mendy, while Fran García is a likely prospect. If Fran leaves, it's clear that Miguel Gutiérrez won't have a place in the Real Madrid squad.

That's why Florentino Pérez wants to take advantage of the situation. Miguel is valued at 40 million euros and he can take him for just 8. The deal, on paper, seems perfect.

If all goes well, this move would net Real Madrid 32 million euros, which is no small feat. Miguel Gutiérrez is clear that he doesn't want to continue at Girona next season, he wants to move to a bigger team.

As his return to Real Madrid is not possible, Miguel Gutiérrez agrees to go back, provided he can choose his next destination. Florentino Pérez will give him carte blanche, provided he comes with 40 million euros to spare.
