Luka Modric declared Arda Güler as his successor! President Perez was stunned: The best in the world...

Real Madrid, eliminated by Arsenal in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, finished second in Spain's LaLiga with 84 points, behind champions Barcelona. The blame for the failure was placed on Carlo Ancelotti, and the Italian coach parted ways with the club.

Xabi Alonso has signed

The new head coach of the Spanish giant is Xabi Alonso. Los Blancos signed a contract with their former player until 2028, and the former Bayer Leverkusen coach has started his role with the team. Xabi Alonso's goal for the upcoming season will be to win both LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League.

What will happen to Arda Güler's future?

Turkish football fans followed Arda Güler with great interest last season at Real Madrid. While every move of the star player made headlines, Carlo Ancelotti’s decisions were criticized not only in Turkey but also in Spain. The future of the star player, who did not get as much playing time as he wanted last season, is eagerly awaited.

Direct contribution to 14 goals

Last season, Arda Güler played a total of 42 matches across all competitions for Real Madrid. The former Fenerbahçe star scored five goals and provided nine assists in those 42 games, directly contributing to 14 goals. Arda Güler, who has a contract with Los Blancos until 2029, currently has a market value of 45 million euros according to Transfermarkt data.

'NEITHER WIRTZ NOR STILLER'

The Spanish press also revealed Head Coach Xabi Alonso's opinion about Arda Güler. In an article titled "Neither Wirtz nor Stiller, Modric shows Florentino Perez his heir at Real Madrid," the following statements were included:

"The legendary figure Luka Modric, who bid farewell to Real Madrid, had a meeting with President Florentino Perez and said about Arda Güler, 'He reminds me of my youth; if he gains confidence in a few years, he could be the best in this position.'"

"At Real Madrid, there is no doubt that Arda Güler will succeed. Arda Güler is only 20 years old and needs to develop in many ways. Xabi wants to give him a very important role at Real Madrid. He cannot guarantee anyone a spot in the starting eleven, but Arda will play more minutes compared to previous seasons; at least, that is the current intention."

More playing time

“The upcoming season will be very long, and the minutes for all players must be well managed because this summer there is the Club World Cup, and next summer there is the World Cup for national teams. Therefore, players will not have much time to rest. Xabi must manage this better than Ancelotti to prevent so many injuries. While some injuries due to heavy playing time are inevitable, there shouldn’t be this many. This situation reflects the inadequacy of Real Madrid’s physical preparation and medical staff.”
