Real Madrid continues its journey in the Copa del Rey, with its sights set on reaching the final. Meanwhile, rumors about the future of its players persist.
One of the names that has caused the most discussion this season is Arda Güler, the young Turk who, despite his great potential, hasn't had the desired prominence. However, Florentino Pérez is very clear about his future and isn't willing to make concessions.
Arda Güler, a Promise with Uncertainty
Since his arrival at Madrid, Arda Güler was considered one of the most promising gems. But, as the months have passed, his role in the team has been much more limited than many expected.
In his last appearance, the Turkish midfielder made it clear that he still believes in his plan and his future at the club. "Madrid gave me a plan, and I still believe in it," Güler said, making it clear that his goal is to be part of the team and help win titles.
On the other hand, coach Carlo Ancelotti has also spoken about the young footballer's situation. Ancelotti recalled that Rodrygo, Vinicius, and Valverde also needed adaptation to become key players.
Florentino Pérez, Firm in His Stance
Despite the doubts caused by Güler's situation, Real Madrid's stance is clear. Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez, the two strong men of the club, consider Arda Güler a valuable piece, both for the present and the future. There is no room for cheap negotiations.
According to various sources, the response to any exit attempt is blunt: "The clause or nothing." This means that Real Madrid will only accept an offer that matches the 500 million euros of his release clause.
Güler's Future in the Air
Although Madrid doesn't contemplate his departure, external voices seem to be increasing, especially from Saudi Arabia. In that market, teams are willing to offer large sums of money, and Arda Güler, due to his youth and talent, has become an attractive target. However, the club isn't willing to negotiate down, making it clear that only an offer that meets the clause will be accepted.
Güler himself seems not to be swayed by the rumors. His commitment to the club is clear, and although he receives criticism and plays little, he continues to work to earn a starting position.
