Three teams eye €25 million-rated former Real Madrid defender who would fetch 50% transfer fee | OneFootball

Ferland Mendy’s contract renewal with Real Madrid appears to have closed the door on Miguel Gutierrez’s potential return to the club next summer. Gutierrez’s future largely depends on Real Madrid’s decisions.

When Gutierrez moved to Girona, Real Madrid kept 50% of his rights and a buy-back option for the summer of 2024. However, if Madrid decide not to exercise this option, they will still have a future option to buy him back in 2025 at a reduced fee of €6 million.

Despite the earlier reports that Real Madrid have no plans to use their buy-back clause for Gutierrez, they still hold 50% of his rights. This position could enable them to secure a significant transfer fee should Gutierrez move to another club.

Interest in Gutierrez is plenty

As it turns out, Gutierrez has emerged as one of the most coveted full-backs in European football. His impressive performances at Girona have attracted attention from several top clubs.

In fact, according to Fichajes, Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, and Bayern Munich are closely watching the young left-back’s development. The outlet mentions that these teams may be preparing to make offers for the young defender in the upcoming transfer window.

The interest in Gutierrez extends beyond these major clubs. Teams like Bologna are also monitoring his situation closely.

Interestingly, his release clause, which ranges between €30 million and €35 million, could play a significant role in the negotiations. Real Madrid’s stake in the defender means they would receive 50% of any transfer fee if he moves to another team.

As of today, Gutierrez stands at a pivotal point in his career. He faces a choice between joining one of Europe’s top clubs or continuing to build his reputation with Girona.

His next move will not only determine his future but will also be financially beneficial for Real Madrid.
