Real Madrid continues its work behind the scenes for the summer transfer window. In the small papers, the Merengue want to recruit a high-level left side because Ferland Mendy, often injured in recent seasons and rarely convincing and Fran Garcia, despite his good starts during the last matches, do not meet the expectations of the leaders. While a free arrival of Alphonso Davies in 2025 seemed to be the most likely option, the Canadian defender is now negotiating with Bayern Munich for a contract extension. Nothing to worry about the Madrid club which has already found a less expensive alternative in Spain with a former member of the club whom it will face this evening according to As.
Homecoming for Miguel?
This alternative is called Miguel Gutierrez, who has been playing in Girona since 2022 and has established himself as one of the best left-backs in the world and a major player in the first qualification in the club’s history for the Champions League. If the Madrid management chose him, it is because statistically, he is above his competition in Madrid. Decisive three times this season, he has played twice as many minutes, won nearly 110 duels and has a passing accuracy of 89%. Beyond the athlete, this track would be a great financial operation because if the value of the player is estimated at 35 million euros, Real Madrid has a buyout clause of eight million since its sale in 2022 to the Catalan club. The former Castilla player could therefore make his return to his training club only two years after leaving it.

To summarize
Real Madrid are still looking for a left back to improve their squad. The Davies file being complicated, the club would have found an alternative to the Canadian. This is Miguel Gutierez, transferred to Girona in 2022 from Real Madrid. Statistically, he is better than Fran Garcia and Ferland Mendy which justifies this choice.
