Real Madrid set to re-sign Miguel Gutierrez, Bayern Munich also keen

Real Madrid will likely trigger a buyback clause to re-sign Miguel Gutierrez this summer, although they face competition from Bayern Munich.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Cadena SER, Miguel Gutierrez might soon rejoin Real Madrid. The Merengues are ready to trigger their buyback clause to re-sign the 22-year-old full-back from fellow La Liga club Girona. Meanwhile, the youngster is also a target for Bayern Munich.

Miguel Gutierrez and his Rise at Girona

Miguel Gutierrez has established himself as one of the best young full-backs in La Liga since joining Girona from Real Madrid. A graduate of Los Blancos’ fabled La Fabrica division, the Spaniard made his first-team debut as a 19-year-old in April 2021. But regular game time eluded him, so he moved across La Liga in 2022.

The move has done wonders for his career, with the 22-year-old rising in stature in the last 18 months. He is enjoying a solid 2023/24 season, chipping in with one goal and six assists in 30 appearances thus far. Gutierrez has played his part in Girona’s surprise La Liga title challenge, with his exploits capturing the attention of high-profile clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

High in Demand

Real Madrid can re-sign Miguel Gutierrez for just €8 million due to a buyback clause in the Spanish full-back’s contract with Girona. The report by Cadena SER has suggested that the Merengues are ready to trigger it to bring him back to the Santiago Bernabeu. But a problem of plenty might beckon Real Madrid.

The Spanish giants are advancing the move to sign Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich. So, the Real Madrid squad might have four left-backs if Gutierrez returns, with Fran Garcia and Ferland Mendy being the incumbent left-backs. So, Los Blancos might have to sell two of them this summer. Bayern Munich might come to the rescue, perhaps even giving Real Madrid added leverage.

A report by Florian Plettenberg, as relayed by iMiaSanMia on X, has mentioned Bayern Munich as a suitor for Miguel Gutierrez. The Bavarian giants are in a spot of bother over the long-term future of Alphonso Davies. So, the 22-year-old might be the ideal candidate to replace the Canadian international.

Real Madrid can make a handy profit from Gutierrez’s sale while using the Spaniard as leverage to land Davies. So, it will be interesting where the Girona full-back plies his trade in the 2024/25 season.
