Arda Güler’s situation at Real Madrid is a familiar one for young talents trying to break into one of the most competitive squads in world football. Ancelotti’s response suggests that the club sees Güler as a long-term project rather than an immediate starter, much like they did with Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, and Federico Valverde.
While frustration over playing time is understandable, this method has proven successful in the past, as players who initially struggled for minutes have gone on to become key figures for Madrid. The challenge for Güler will be to stay patient, continue improving in training, and make the most of the opportunities he does get.
Do you think he should push for more minutes now, or would a loan move be a better option for his development?
