Amid Carlo Ancelotti's maelstrom of decisions and strategies, the name Arda Güler remains in the shadows. Real Madrid's promising Turkish player has been sidelined in the Merengue team's lineups. As the weeks go by, questions arise about his role at the club and his development as a footballer.
The year 2024 began with high expectations for Güler, who was finally released on medical grounds after three injuries that prevented him from staying off the field in the first half of the season. His return came in a cup match in Aranda del Duero, where Ancelotti entrusted him with the title along with Brahim and Joselu. In this match, Güler demonstrated his quality and showed that he was in good physical shape.
But despite this promising return, Ancelotti has barely used Güler in recent games. His brief appearance in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final derby, where he provided freshness and quality, made us believe his time might have come. But since then the Italian coach has decided to keep him on the bench.
Güler's absence from important games such as the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona and the Metropolitano Cup derby has left many Real Madrid fans confused. Even in the game against Almería, where Güler was warming up, Ancelotti refused to give him minutes, which led to the player's visible frustration.
Real Madrid exit in this market?
As “Sport” tells us, the lack of opportunities is causing rumors about Güler’s future. Some suggest he could be sent out on loan until June to continue his development and prevent his promising career from becoming stagnant. The Italian coach's trust in his regular players seems to be making it difficult for Güler to find his rhythm and show his best version at Real Madrid.
