Real Madrid are brimming with offensive talent as they head into the next season. With the arrivals of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick, competition for starting spots will be fiercer than ever.
Players will need to exceed their usual standards and give their utmost to convince Carlo Ancelotti that they deserve a place in the starting lineup.
One player already appears to be making a strong case for himself: Turkish sensation Arda Guler.
Despite facing a difficult debut season marred with injuries and lack of game time, Guler did not let the recurring setbacks deter him from his route to success.
The 19-year-old managed to close the season on a high note, perform exceptionally well in the UEFA Euro 2024 with Turkey, and is now displaying his talents in the pre-season.
Guler’s status has taken a turn for the better
Indeed, according to Rodra P (h/t Madrid Xtra), Arda Guler’s status within the team has undergone a significant transformation, and he is now poised to play a pivotal role this season.
In fact, Guler is more determined than ever to establish himself as an indispensable asset to the squad.
The 19-year-old has left everyone in awe with his impressive performances this pre-season. Both his teammates and coaches recognize his potential to be a crucial player this season.
Moreover, Guler’s hours in the gym have been paying off as he is in admirable physical shape and one of the best in the squad.
The teenager’s recent performances are a testament to his improved attitude and physical conditioning.
In the latest match against Barcelona, he scored a fantastic goal that was unfortunately ruled offside. However, he made amends with his trademark corner assist for Nico Paz.
Entering the new campaign, Guler will be vying to be a more prominent figure and his recent evolution has certainly aided his case.
