Throughout the summer, there was speculation among Real Madrid fans about the potential loan of Arda Güler. The Turkish midfielder's impressive performances at the end of last season and his standout display at the European Championship shifted opinions within both the coaching staff and the fanbase. Initially considered for a loan, Güler’s situation changed dramatically as he proved his ability to lead from the center of the field too.

A pivotal factor in this decision was Toni Kroos's retirement, which left a significant void in Madrid's midfield. Güler, who has demonstrated his capability in that central role, is now seen as a key player to fill this gap. According to Guillermo Rai of The Athletic, Kroos's departure has opened up a new opportunity for Güler, who could become a crucial part of the team's balance between defense and attack, alongside Fede Valverde.

In addition to his central role, Güler’s versatility allows him to contribute on the right wing, making him one of the most adaptable players in the squad. Carlo Ancelotti recognizes his potential, and 2024-25 is poised to be a defining season for both Güler and Real Madrid.
