Real Madrid are keen on signing 22-year-old Girona defender Miguel Gutierrez, and they can trigger a meagre clause.
According to a report from Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid are prepared to pay €8 million to bring Miguel Gutierrez back to the club. The 22-year-old joined Girona from Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, and he has established himself as a key player for the Spanish outfit. He is also a target for Arsenal.
Miguel Gutierrez Making His Mark at Girona
The 22-year-old left-back is capable of operating as a winger, and he could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Real Madrid. The Spanish giants need to bring in a quality full-back, and he would be a long-term acquisition for them. It remains to be seen whether Girona are prepared to sanction his departure. The defender has been linked with Arsenal as well.
The Gunners have Oleksandr Zinchenko as the only left-back at their disposal. They could certainly certainly use more depth in the position, and the Spanish defender could prove to be the ideal acquisition. Gutierrez could be tempted to join a big club in the coming months. And the opportunity to play for Real Madrid and Arsenal will be quite tempting.
A Real Madrid Return on the Cards?
Real Madrid will hope that the player is keen on joining them. If they can promise him ample first-team action, the 22-year-old is likely to be tempted. Real Madrid are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down for any player.
In addition, Gutierrez is a boyhood Real Madrid fan and the opportunity to return home will be quite attractive for him. However, the 22-year-old needs to be careful about his next move. He should look to join a club where he will play regularly. He cannot afford to sit on the bench at a big club as it would affect his development negatively.
Ferland Mendy has been linked with an exit from Real Madrid in recent months, and Gutierrez could prove to be the ideal replacement. If Los Blancos can sign him for €8 million, the buyback clause, the transfer could prove to be a masterstroke in the long run.
