Real Madrid is truly becoming a “prodigy prisση”. Because not only striker Endrick, but also the number one young star of Turkish football, Arda Guler, is becoming redundant in coach Carlo Ancelotti’s plan…

Before the 2024/25 season started, many people thought that this would be Arda Guler’s season. Despite an injury that kept him out for more than 4 months, the young Turkish midfielder ended last season promisingly with 5 goals in 5 appearances in La Liga. Not only that, the 19-year-old player also had a successful EURO 2024 with the national team with 1 goal and 2 assists.

Those optimistic signs also made Guler proactively shorten his vacation to join Real Madrid early, in order to for an official position. But the reality is much harsher than Guler imagined. Because more than 2 months since the start of the season, he still has not won the trust of coach Ancelotti.

After playing quite regularly at the beginning of the season, the former Fenerbahce player gradually disappeared from the eyes of Madridistas. In the last 6 rounds of La Liga, Guler sat out 4 matches and only played… 21 minutes in the remaining 2 matches. In the Champions League, he also played only 39 minutes in matches against Stuttgart (15), Lille (23) and Dortmund (1).
