Arda Guler’s future at Real Madrid is in doubt, as AC Milan and Inter emerge as the favorites to sign him after struggling to impress Carlo Ancelotti.
According to a report from SPORT, Arda Guler has decided to leave Real Madrid in search of regular playing time should Carlo Ancelotti continue as the head coach of the club for another season. Guler was signed from Fenerbahce in 2023 but has yet to cement his place in Ancelotti’s starting lineup.
The 18-year-old has struggled to secure regular playing time under the Italian coach, prompting him to consider a move away from the Spanish capital. Real Madrid are open to his departure, provided they retain control over his future. A loan or a transfer with a buy-back option seems to be the most likely outcome. The club sees Guler as a potential future star but believes he needs more playing time to develop, preferentially at a Champions League-playing club, which he is unlikely to get at Madrid.
Per the report from SPORT, Serie A heavyweights AC Milan and Inter are keeping tabs on Guler’s situation at Real Madrid. They join the likes of Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt, who are also planning a swoop for the 19-year-old playmaker from Turkey.
Guler will be hoping to earn some minutes when Real Madrid visit the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium to take on Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday, March 12.
