A new era will begin at Real Madrid this summer, and for some players, the arrival of Xabi Alonso is wonderful news. One such player is Arda Güler.
Güler has had a difficult time since transferring from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023.
In nearly two years, he has struggled to establish himself as a key first-team player, with Carlo Ancelotti reportedly unimpressed with his efforts during training sessions and matches.
This has led to speculation that he could leave Real Madrid this summer, with Premier League clubs eager to secure the services of the Turkish talent.
However, Alonso’s arrival may be a setback for those clubs looking to sign him from the Santiago Bernabéu.
According to a report from Diario AS, Alonso is a big fan of Güler and had even tried to negotiate a loan deal with Real Madrid last summer to bring him to Bayer Leverkusen — although the move never materialized.
Alonso is said to have full confidence in Güler and his talent, and as a result, expectations are that the young midfielder will get significantly more playing time next season.
