Xabi Alonso has reached out to Arda Guler: the Spaniard wants the Turk to play a pivotal role at Real Madrid!

The Turkish international has not been given much time in the recent period for Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti despite the talent he possesses, and the 20-year-old's Turkish talent seems to be something that Xabi Alonso believes in and wants to rely on in the upcoming season.

A long-term contract that can be leveraged

The Turk's contract with Real Madrid runs until 2029, so there will be plenty of time for Xabi Alonso to get the best out of the young Turk, especially with the Spaniard's clear intention to include him in his entire Real Madrid system.

Erdogan's current market value with Real Madrid is 45 million euros and is expected to increase over time, especially if he plays for the first team and proves himself worthy of the trust that Xabi Alonso and the Real Madrid management will give him with a new era in the center of the midfield after the departure of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.

What does the media have to say about this?

Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda recently stirred excitement on El Chiringuito de Jugones with revelations about young Turkish star Arda Güler’s future at Real Madrid. According to Inda, incoming manager Xabi Alonso has already taken decisive steps to integrate the midfielder into his plans, personally reaching out to discuss Güler’s evolving role in the squad.

The report, later picked up by Turkish outlet Fanatik, highlights a potential turning point in the 19-year-old’s career. Despite his undeniable talent, Güler saw limited opportunities under Carlo Ancelotti, who often favored more experienced players. This lack of playing time fueled speculation about his long-term place at the club—until Alonso’s arrival shifted the narrative.

Known for his tactical vision and faith in young talent, Alonso has reportedly marked Güler as a central figure in his project. The Basque coach’s early intervention—a direct phone call outlining his plans for the playmaker—signals a fresh start. For Madridistas and Güler’s admirers, this could be the beginning of a breakout chapter, with the teenager poised to finally shine on the grand stage.
