Following the confirmation that Real Madrid, having lost the LaLiga title to Barcelona, will part ways with head coach Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the season, significant developments have emerged regarding Arda Güler's future at the club.
It has been suggested that Arda had planned to leave Real Madrid on loan next season if Ancelotti remained, but that things have changed for the Turkish player following the Italian coach's agreement with the Brazilian National Team.
According to a report by NTV Spor citing OK Diario, the near-certainty of Xabi Alonso being appointed as the head coach at Real Madrid has changed Arda Güler's decision.
The report notes that the Spanish coach explicitly wants Arda to stay with the team and believes that the young footballer will become a world-class star in the medium term.
This development has completely shifted Arda Güler's future plans at Real Madrid, with reports stating that the national footballer has clearly expressed his desire to stay in Madrid and succeed.
The report further recalls that Xabi Alonso had previously wanted to sign Arda on loan for Leverkusen but was unable to achieve that goal at the time, commenting that "Arda will work with Xabi next season, and this will be his breakout season as one of world football's greatest talents."
