Since his arrival at Real Madrid in the summer of 2023, Arda Guler has had a hard time getting noticed.
He only played in 12 games last season (although he didn't play until January due to injury), and he's up to that number for the current season as well, although he didn't has only been a starter three times.
As a result, Guler looked somewhat rusty during Turkey's 0-0 draw against Wales on Saturday, and according to former national team manager Mustafa Denizli, that's not too surprising ( via Sport).
Not happy at Real
“Arda showed immaturity in his performance. This is normal because he is not in the same state as when he went to Real Madrid. He doesn't look happy there. We know he enjoyed few minutes and opportunities, but his rivals in the locker room increased their performance. »
Real Madrid continue to have confidence in Guler, even if he is not a crucial part of Carlo Ancelotti's thinking. However, the Merengue may have to consider sending him out on loan to avoid further hampering his development.
