Real Madrid are still undecided on whether to try to land Turkish talent Arda Guler on loan this summer, despite two promising appearances in recent weeks.
The staff is reportedly divided on how his development would best be served next season. He took his goal well against Celta Vigo two weekends ago and almost scored the goal of the season with a daring long-range strike against Osasuna last weekend. This should bode well for Guler, who is now away on international duty with Turkey. The Real Madrid team believe he has responded well to their harshness, after making indiscretions about his nighttime habits, but the team are still divided over his future.
Real Madrid intend to keep him for next season, according to Relevo, but some staff members believe he should be loaned out to get more playing time to continue his development. They cite cases like Fede Valverde or Brahim Diaz, who left on loan and matured upon their return.
What future for Arda Guler
Guler, meanwhile, has always maintained his desire to continue in the Spanish capital, but the period until the end of the season could be crucial. Other members of the staff fear that his strong personality will not fit in elsewhere and prefer that he continue a special bodybuilding program under the watchful eye of Carlo Ancelotti. Local media speak of other loans, such as those of Reinier Jesus or Takefusa Kubo, which did not work out, fearing that his quality would be diluted.
It's a problem that has often plagued the club's young talents, with few having managed to make the transition from Castilla to the first team. Even a prodigy like Guler struggles to earn minutes, and there's no natural path to further development other than by surpassing stars like Brahim Diaz or Rodrygo Goes, in the youngster's case 19 year old man.
