Arda Güler’s debut season at Real Madrid has been overshadowed by persistent injuries, making it difficult for the Turkish prodigy to fully integrate into the squad and establish himself. Rather than securing a regular spot in Carlo Ancelotti’s lineup, Güler has managed only sporadic appearances since his debut against Arandina in January.
His absence during the first half of the campaign disrupted his adaptation process and limited his influence on Ancelotti’s tactical setup. However, now that he has overcome his physical struggles, Güler is determined to prove his worth and earn his coach’s trust.
Güler’s Intense Physical Transformation
Spanish journalist Jorge Picón reports that Güler is undergoing intense physical training to enhance his strength and endurance before the season concludes. His efforts have impressed those within the club, with sources at Valdebebas noting his remarkable transformation.
“They’re amazed at his physical change. His strength has increased significantly. In the locker room, they say it’s impressive to see him without a shirt,” reports suggest.
Güler is not only working out rigorously at the club’s facilities but also continuing his training at home, showcasing his dedication to improving his fitness. This commitment has already yielded results, as evidenced by his first goal for Real Madrid against Celta Vigo last month.
Potential Loan Move in the Summer
Despite Ancelotti’s belief in Güler’s long-term potential, reports suggest that a summer loan move remains a possibility. Several La Liga clubs, including Real Sociedad, have expressed interest in securing his services for the upcoming season.
Should competition for minutes at Real Madrid intensify with new signings, Güler might consider a temporary move to gain regular playing time and further develop his skills. For now, his primary focus remains on impressing Ancelotti and securing more opportunities before the season ends.
