Everything is going well for Real Madrid. Even if the success – or not – of the season will be partly conditioned by this return match against Manchester City on Wednesday, the Madrilenians are rather calm. This weekend, they did the job by winning 1-0 at Mallorca in La Liga, just to keep Barça at 8 points in the standings, before meeting Manchester City at the Etihad on Wednesday.

Only, there is one case that still gets people talking. It’s neither Mbappé nor Vinicius, but Arda Güler. Indeed, against Mallorca, many supporters expected to see him play. In the end, he did not play a single minute, in a meeting where Anclotti rotated a lot, offering a starting place to players like Joselu, Brahim Diaz or Lucas Vazquez. The little Turkish prodigy remained on the bench throughout the game, while everyone was convinced that he was going to play a minimum.

He doesn’t want to wait any longer
The situation is starting to become worrying. It’s been a month since he last stepped on the pitches, since his last appearance dates back to March 16, with 5 minutes of play against Osasuna. In total, he only played 35 minutes in La Liga over the season, spread across 5 appearances. A starving record for a player who logically must have playing time to improve. According to journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon, who works notably for Radio Marca, the player is fed up and already wants to pack his bags. At the age of 19, he wants to play more regularly and has asked the Madrid management to release him this summer.

Especially since in Madrid, there will be arrivals in the offensive sector this summer, and a player like Endrick can also threaten the Turk. If Ancelotti remains very discreet about the reasons which push him not to use Güler, the Spanish press mentioned a few weeks ago a behavior that is not always ideal, and a slightly problematic attitude internally. To be continued, but there is still a risk of jostling at the gate for him.
