“He doesn't look happy at Real Madrid” – Former Turkey manager shows concern for Arda Guler

Since joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2023, Arda Guler has fought hard for prominence. He only made 12 appearances last season (although he didn't play until January due to injury), and he's also in that number for the current campaign, although he's only started on three occasions.

As a result, Guler looked a little rusty during Türkiye's goalless draw against Wales on Saturday, and according to former national team manager Mustafa Denizli, it's not too surprising (via Sport).

“Arda showed immaturity in his performance. It is normal because he is not in the same condition as when he went to Real Madrid. He does not look happy here. We know that he enjoyed few minutes and opportunities, but his rivals in the dressing room have increased their performances.

Real Madrid he continues to have faith in Guler, even if he is not a crucial part of Carlo Ancelotti's thinking. However, they may need to consider sending him on loan to avoid any further delay in his development.
