Arda Güler arrived at Real Madrid as one of the great promises of European soccer. However, his role on the team has been practically anecdotal.
Injuries and Carlo Ancelotti's lack of confidence have relegated him to the bench. Now, the young attacking midfielder is starting to consider his future away from Bernabéu.
A Broken Relationship with Ancelotti
The relationship between the Italian coach and the Turk is not at its best. For months, Güler has made it clear that he wants more opportunities. Ancelotti, meanwhile, believes that he is not yet ready to take on an important role in the team.
Eduardo Inda revealed it on El Chiringuito de Jugones: "Every time they let him play, he plays soccer quite well. I'm told that Arda Güler has an offer and that he has conveyed that if Ancelotti continues, he doesn't want to stay because he plays little."
This lack of understanding has created a tense atmosphere. His entourage insists that he needs minutes to progress, while the coach remains firm in his decision.
Bayern Munich Goes After Güler
In this context of discontent, a major interested party has emerged: Bayern Munich. The Bavarian club has contacted the player's entourage to gauge his willingness to change scenery.
Bayern wants to take advantage of the situation and, in the process, return the favor to Madrid for the signings of Kroos or Alaba, who arrived at Bernabéu for free. Additionally, the Alphonso Davies case, who was close to signing with the Whites before renewing with the Germans, has further heated the rivalry between both clubs.
Bayern's interest is no coincidence. The German team has unfinished business with Real Madrid after losing key players like Toni Kroos. Now they see Güler as an opportunity to strike back at the Whites and strengthen their squad with a player of great potential.

What Will Real Madrid Do?
For now, the White club remains calm. Their intention is for Güler to stay, but if the situation doesn't change, they will only consider his departure under specific conditions. They don't want to lose a talent with so much future without ensuring the possibility of recovering him later.
Güler's future will largely depend on what happens with Ancelotti. If the Italian remains on the bench, everything points to the Turk seeking new horizons. If there is a change of coach, his situation could take a radical turn.
