Arda Güler, one of Real Madrid's most promising signings for the 2023-2024 season, has faced a challenging start to his time at the club. Since his arrival in July 2023, the Turkish midfielder has played more matches for the Turkish national team, including international friendlies, than for the Spanish giants in official competitions. This stat reflects not only his limited involvement under Carlo Ancelotti's management but also the difficulties he has faced in securing a regular spot in Real Madrid's starting lineup.

Güler, considered one of European football's future stars, has had to fight for minutes on the pitch despite his undeniable talent. This situation has raised questions about his future at the club, especially in a context where rumors are swirling about a potential managerial change at Real Madrid. According to several reports, Xabi Alonso, currently the head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, is the leading candidate to replace Ancelotti at the end of the season.

Alonso's potential arrival, known for his ability to develop young players, could present an opportunity for Güler to finally establish himself in the team. However, it will take some time to determine the outcome of this situation, as, despite not having fully satisfactory results this season, Real Madrid remains in the race for La Liga, sitting in second place with 27 points.

If this change of direction is confirmed, it could have a major impact on Güler's future, with the arrival of a new coach potentially giving him the chance to showcase his potential in a team that has given him few opportunities so far. The question will be whether this second chance will come soon, or if the young Turk will have to keep waiting for his moment.
