Arda Güler has made it clear that he is determined to succeed at Real Madrid, despite a challenging second season with the club where he has seen limited playing time. The 20-year-old Turkish attacking midfielder joined Los Blancos in the summer of 2023 after the club paid a premium to trigger his release clause from Fenerbahçe. While injuries disrupted his debut campaign, he ended the season in impressive form and showcased his talent at Euro 2024.
This season, Güler has made 30 appearances across all competitions, but only ten were starts. His last La Liga start came in December during a 3-3 draw with Rayo Vallecano, where he provided two assists. His sporadic minutes have sparked speculation about his future, especially after comments from Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai during the international break hinted at dissatisfaction with his role.
Reports have suggested that Güler might consider leaving Madrid this summer if he doesn’t secure assurances of more consistent playing time next season. However, Güler has publicly reiterated his commitment to the club, emphasizing that he has even purchased a home in Madrid and remains focused on achieving his goals at the Santiago Bernabéu.
"Real Madrid gave me a plan, and I still believe in it," Güler told MARCA while on international duty. "I’m sure I’ll succeed at Real Madrid. I work very hard and I’m always ready to play, as you could see in this match against Hungary. I love Real Madrid fans, and their support means a lot to me. I came here to play and be an important part of this team, and I won’t stop fighting until I achieve that."
Inter Milan has been linked with a potential move for Güler, as they reportedly view him as a backup option to their primary target, former Madrid player Nico Paz. Despite the rumors, Güler’s statements indicate his unwavering determination to carve out a significant role at Real Madrid and fulfill the club’s vision for his career.
