Xabi Alonso Reportedly Plans Key Role for Arda Güler at Real Madrid

June 1, 2025

Promising young midfielder Arda Güler looks set for a significant boost in his Real Madrid career, with reports this weekend indicating that incoming head coach Xabi Alonso has substantial plans for him. According to Spanish publication Diario AS, the 20-year-old Turkish international is being lined up for a much more prominent role under Alonso’s management next season.

Güler’s current campaign in the Spanish capital has been a mix of promising glimpses and limited opportunities. While he’s certainly shown flashes of his immense talent when given a chance on the pitch, his relative inexperience has often meant restricted playing time under current coach Carlo Ancelotti. This scarcity of minutes hasn’t sat well with many Real Madrid fans, who are eager to see Güler truly flourish and establish himself.

However, those concerns may soon be a thing of the past. Supporters keen for Güler to finally get a consistent run in the team will be delighted to learn of Alonso’s purported intentions for the midfield starlet.

Alonso has reportedly long held a high regard for Güler’s abilities. The report specifically notes: “Xabi Alonso was interested in loaning the Turkish player to Bayer Leverkusen last year, and has complete confidence in his talent.” This past interest and deep-seated belief in Güler’s potential strongly suggest that the young player will be entrusted with far more responsibility and playing time once Alonso takes the reins.

As a result, it’s widely anticipated that Arda Güler will be afforded a more substantial and influential role by the incoming Real Madrid headmaster from the start of the next season. This potential shift marks a pivotal moment for Güler, offering him the platform many believe he needs to become an integral part of Real Madrid’s future success.
