In a bold move, Arda Guler has expressed his concerns directly to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, making it clear that his future at the club is uncertain unless changes are made.
The 20-year-old Turkish talent, who joined the club last season, has struggled for consistent playing time despite being highly regarded as one of the brightest young prospects in world football.
Known for his patience and professionalism, Guler has now drawn a line in the sand, delivering a strong message about his future.
Guler’s message to Perez
The young midfielder, addressing Perez, said, “I won’t stay next year if Ancelotti stays,” as quoted by Real Madrid Confidencial.
This statement marks a significant shift, as Guler had been quietly enduring his lack of opportunities under Ancelotti.
His frustration has been building, and he has now made it clear that he will seek a move if the Italian coach is retained for another campaign.
Guler’s words indicate that he is no longer willing to remain in a situation where his potential is not being fully utilised.
Perez faces crucial decision over Guler’s future
Guler’s future now rests squarely in the hands of Perez. Despite still having a contract until 2029, the young star’s impatience has put Perez in an uncomfortable position.
While the club has not expressed any intention to part ways with Guler, his recent ultimatum has forced the president to reconsider the situation.
Perez now faces a tough choice between supporting the development of one of the club’s most promising talents or standing by Ancelotti.
With rumours swirling about Ancelotti’s future, including speculation about his potential departure at the end of the season, Guler’s situation adds a layer of uncertainty to Real Madrid’s upcoming decisions.
As things stand, Guler is looking towards the future and is determined to find a path that ensures his growth as a player.
Whether Real Madrid choose to prioritise the development of Guler or the experience of Ancelotti, Perez’s decision will shape the club’s direction for the coming season.
