Despite speculation about a potential loan move, anonymous sources revealed that Guler and his entourage plan to stay at Real Madrid for the 2024/2025 season, a sentiment echoed by the club. While Ancelotti has handed Guler limited minutes so far, there is confidence that the coach’s careful approach will lead to increased playing time for the talented midfielder.
