Sources within the Santiago Bernabéu are increasingly confident that the former Fenerbahce prodigy will showcase his full potential in the upcoming campaign.
His youth and promising future are highly valued by the club, with many in Valdebebas believing he possesses the qualities to leave a lasting mark on Real Madrid’s history.
The Madrid faithful also share this optimism, anticipating years of exciting football from the Turkish international.
This burgeoning confidence has even led to comparisons with legendary midfielder Luka Modric.
Highly respected voices within the institution see notable similarities between Güler and the Croatian maestro, suggesting that the young Turk could eventually inherit the reins of the team’s midfield.
While such comparisons are weighty, Güler’s projected trajectory is considered remarkably high, with continued development expected.
Despite reported interest and numerous offers for the young talent, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has remained steadfast in his conviction to retain Güler.
The player himself is said to be brimming with enthusiasm for the new project under Alonso, despite a season that saw limited first-team opportunities under Carlo Ancelotti.
The arrival of the former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder as manager, officially set for June 1st as the club prepares for the Club World Cup, is widely expected to benefit Güler significantly.
Intriguingly, reports suggest that Alonso will not arrive in Madrid empty-handed, with speculation mounting about potential signings.
Among the names being heavily linked is Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, hinting at a significant reshaping of the Real Madrid squad under their new manager.
