Arda Güler’s limited playing time this season at Real Madrid has led to frustration, with the Turkish player reportedly nearing a decision that could significantly impact his future at the club. According to “OK Diario,” there is talk of a potential “Güler Case” as the midfielder becomes increasingly dissatisfied with his situation.
Despite being declared fit before the match against Girona, Güler did not even warm up during the game at the Bernabéu, raising concerns within the club. Expectations for his involvement this season were high, but he has yet to feature in recent matches. Though competition for places is intense, with key players like the front three and Jude Bellingham firmly established, Güler’s lack of opportunities is becoming a point of tension.
After a challenging season last year marred by injuries, Güler only managed to play 12 matches and didn’t even make his debut in the Champions League. This year, fans anticipated a more consistent role for him, but that hasn’t materialized.
Güler is expected to start in the Copa del Rey semifinal against Real Sociedad, offering him a chance to prove himself once again. So far this season, he has played 936 minutes in 28 matches, scoring 3 goals and assisting 5. Despite the limited playing time, his performances have been solid when given the chance.
While Güler understands the need to work hard and wait for opportunities at a club like Madrid, his patience is being tested. His continued strong performances may eventually earn him more chances, especially given the demanding fixture schedule.
