How Ancelotti’s exit and Alonso’s arrival could revive Real Madrid starlet’s future – report | OneFootball

The uncertain future of Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid might have far-reaching consequences, but for Turkish sensation Arda Guler, it could finally mark the beginning of his long-awaited breakthrough.

Since arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu with high expectations, Guler’s Real Madrid career has struggled to take off.

Injuries have played their part, but more frustratingly, the young midfielder has found himself on the fringes of the squad, unable to earn the trust of Ancelotti, who has preferred more experienced options even in less critical moments.

As a result, Guler has been sidelined for the majority of the campaign, leaving both fans and the player himself disheartened.

As per recent developments, the Italian is expected to stay on until the end of the season, but a definitive decision on his future will only be made after the final.

Alonso has not only impressed with his tactical acumen in the Bundesliga but has also gained a reputation for nurturing young talents, and this, according to SPORT, is precisely what gives Guler hope.

It is suggested that Alonso’s arrival could be the reset Guler has been waiting for, an opportunity to finally showcase his immense potential at the highest level.

Exit plans on hold

While Guler had been preparing for a possible loan move this summer, the outlook could now change dramatically. Real Madrid, who were initially open to exploring a loan solution, might need to revisit the idea if Alonso takes charge.

This is because the Spaniard might see Guler as a key part of his plans, which could drastically alter the youngster’s immediate future.

There is no doubt that Guler still holds the confidence of the Real Madrid hierarchy, but without minutes, even the most talented can stagnate.

The club will need to act carefully, balancing their long-term vision with the player’s personal aspirations. If Alonso arrives, the Turk could go from forgotten man to central figure, a transformation many are eager to witness.
