Real Madrid Loan Out Arda Güler for More Minutes

Real Madrid have decided to loan out Turkish wonderkid Arda Güler for the 2025/26 season. Despite flashes of brilliance, he struggled to find consistent minutes in a squad stacked with world-class talent.

The club sees the move as essential to his growth, with several La Liga and Bundesliga clubs interested in giving him a more prominent role. Güler wants to play regularly to maintain his development and stay in contention for Turkey's national team.

Madrid are expected to choose a club with a style that suits Güler’s strengths—possession-based play and space to roam in the final third. Girona, Real Betis, and even Bayer Leverkusen have been mentioned as options.

Carlo Ancelotti still sees Güler as part of Madrid’s future, but acknowledges that the 19-year-old needs games to truly grow. The loan will not include an option to buy.

This move reflects Madrid's smart handling of young talent—protecting their long-term value while letting them develop elsewhere.
