Arda Guler, the young Turkish sensation, is poised to make a significant impact for Real Madrid in the upcoming 2024/25 season. Despite interest from Liverpool, the talented midfielder’s future lies firmly with the Spanish powerhouse.
According to AS, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has high hopes for Guler and plans to integrate him into the team’s star-studded line-up. The 18-year-old will join the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Vinícius Jr, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, and Endrick as part of a formidable attacking force.

Guler’s versatility is one of his greatest assets, as he can excel in various positions, including central midfield, attacking midfield, right wing, and even as a forward. His stunning goal in the recent European Championship showcased his immense talent and potential.
Ancelotti’s Vision for Guler
While Ancelotti primarily sees Guler as a forward, he is open to utilising the youngster’s skills in midfield when needed. This flexibility is particularly important given the recent changes in Real Madrid’s squad, with Toni Kroos’s departure and Aurelien Tchouameni’s expected shift to a centre-back role.
However, Ancelotti has acknowledged that Guler needs to work on his physical attributes and defensive positioning to thrive at the highest level. The coach has revealed that the young player is already focusing on these areas to overcome any limitations.

A Promising Future Ahead
During a recent celebration at Cibeles, Ancelotti hinted at Guler’s increased involvement in the upcoming season, describing him as a “very interesting boy.” This suggests that fans can expect to see the Turkish prodigy feature more prominently in the team’s plans.
Guler is eager to reunite with his teammates and begin preparations for the new campaign. He is set to return to the training base in Valdebebas at the end of this week, alongside Antonio Rüdiger, marking the start of an exciting new chapter for Real Madrid.
As the 2024/25 season approaches, all eyes will be on Arda Guler as he looks to make his mark on the global stage. Under Ancelotti’s guidance and surrounded by a wealth of talent, Guler has the opportunity to develop into a key player for Real Madrid and contribute to the club’s continued success.
