Real Madrid's young talent Arda Guler is poised to make a return to Turkey on loan, as reported by transfer market expert sources. Guler, who was signed by Real Madrid last summer in a deal that saw them outbid FC Barcelona, has faced challenges in his debut season with the club.
The 19-year-old suffered injuries early on, limiting his playing time to just 92 minutes across all competitions. Real Madrid's head coach Carlo Ancelotti emphasized the importance of playing time for Guler's development, acknowledging the competition within the squad.
Ancelotti hinted at the crowded midfield and attack options at Real Madrid, making it difficult for Guler to secure regular playing time. The presence of established players like Toni Kroos, Jude Bellingham, and others further complicates Guler's chances of breaking into the first team.
In light of Ancelotti's comments, Real Madrid is reportedly open to loaning out Guler to allow him to gain valuable experience elsewhere. This strategy has proven successful in the past with players like Fede Valverde and Brahim Diaz.
Recent reports suggest that Guler is likely to return to Turkey, with Fenerbahce being a probable destination. This potential move could disappoint Barcelona, who had previously expressed interest in signing Guler and potentially loaning him to Fenerbahce for the following season.
Guler's loan spell back to Turkey signifies Real Madrid's commitment to nurturing young talent and providing them with opportunities to grow and develop their skills. It remains to be seen how this move will impact Guler's future prospects and whether he can make a successful return to Real Madrid in the future.
