Arda Güler's days are numbered, Europe's best young player is highly admired by Real Madrid

Real Madrid's latest matches have served as a very serious warning for Arda Güler in the fight to keep a very important role. The Turk started Xabi Alonso's era as a frequent starter, but his presence has notably faded over the past few weeks. The Tolosa coach seems to trust his creative profile less and prefers players with a more dominant physique.

Against Girona, Arda Güler was substituted at halftime in a match that required an urgent comeback. Against Athletic Club, he started on the bench and only participated when the match was already completely decided. These details indicate a change in hierarchy that could become even more pronounced next season.

Growing competition in his same position within Real Madrid

Nico Paz will return next season and occupies exactly the same attacking midfield role that Arda Güler plays in the team. His return increases internal pressure and considerably reduces the immediate growth options for the Turkish footballer. In addition, Real Madrid is considering bringing in another emerging talent who could further alter the rotation.

The club has set its sights on the recent winner of the Golden Boy Web, an award that recognizes the best young player in European soccer. Christos Mouzakitis, a midfielder from Olympiacos, has become one of the continent's biggest youth breakthroughs. At just eighteen years old, he already stands out for his vision, tactical aggressiveness, and his ability to dominate entire phases of the game.

Mouzakitis, the signing that could decide Arda Güler's future

The sporting management of Real Madrid is impressed with the young Greek's competitive maturity. According to various international reports, the club is preparing an offer close to thirty million euros to close the deal. The intention is to take advantage of his growth before his value increases even more.

If Christos Mouzakitis finally arrives at Bernabéu, Arda Güler's situation will become much more complicated. Both share the same position and the Greek offers a more complete profile for Xabi Alonso's tactical demands. The evolution of the case will determine whether Arda Güler has a place or if he will have to look for minutes away from Real Madrid.
