Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has undoubtedly cut the rising star Arda Guler around the ears on occasion, making it very clear that the Turkish teenager will play when he deems fit in March. However, any doubts that he could leave on loan this summer were long gone by the summer.
At the beginning of this year, as he was returning from injury, there were elements in the Real Madrid staff who believed that he would benefit from a loan move this season, where he could play with less pressure and more regularity. However, their performances made the difference.

Matteo Moretto explained that Guler's performances towards the end of last season, where he was given five to ten minutes of action, but which still had an impact on the game, were decisive in the process of winning Ancelotti. Showing his quality on the field, but also the right attitude convinced the Italian and the rest of the staff that he belongs to the team for the next season.
Therefore, no team has been close to a loan move for Guler, nor has Real Madrid considered the matter this summer.
