Arda Güler has one less rival: He could play in that position next season!
Following the decision of Real Madrid's experienced player Toni Kroos to retire after EURO 2024, the chances of national footballer Arda Güler finding playing time in the Madrid squad have increased. With the arrival of Endrick and the potential transfer of Mbappe, a new positional alternative has emerged for Arda Güler. Here are all the possibilities...

La Liga side Real Madrid's young star Arda Güler's future at the club is a subject of curiosity after he made the most of the opportunities he found recently.
Competing for a spot with players in his own position such as Jude Bellingham, Brahim Diaz, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Federico Valverde, and Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Güler had not been able to find the playing time he wanted from head coach Carlo Ancelotti in the first part of the season.
Having stayed away from the pitch due to injuries, the Turkish star made good use of the opportunities he found in the final part of the season. Scoring 6 goals in the 10 matches he played in La Liga, Arda Güler is drawing attention as one of the team's most in-form players.
HIS RIVALS HAVE DECREASED
An important development that could affect the midfield rotation at Real Madrid came from Toni Kroos. The German footballer announced that he will end his professional football career after EURO 2024. Following this decision by Kroos, it is predicted that Arda Güler's chances of playing in the midfield will increase.
MODRIC'S FUTURE IS UNCERTAIN
The situation of another experienced name on the team, Luka Modric, remains uncertain. Although it is rumored that the Croatian star, whose contract with his team will expire at the end of the season, wants to continue for one more year with the Madrid side, his role in the team is expected to decrease slightly. This situation stands out as another important factor that further strengthens Arda Güler's position in the Madrid squad.
REAL MADRID'S SQUAD STRUCTURE FOR THE NEW SEASON
Real Madrid, which reached the finish line in La Liga this season and will compete for the title against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League, is not expected to make radical changes in its squad planning for the new season. It can be said that Real Madrid, which is expected to sign with PSG's French star Kylian Mbappe for the new season, will thus close the gap in the position where it had the most trouble at the beginning of the season. With the addition of Kylian Mbappe to the team, Arda's assist skills could come to the fore even more.
In addition to Mbappe, Real Madrid has reached an agreement with Endrick, who plays for Palmeiras in the Brazilian league. The young star, who completed the season with the Brazilian team, will join Real Madrid in the summer. Whether Endrick can be a permanent fixture in the Madrid squad is a matter of curiosity.
