Real Madrid in Pole Position to Sign La Liga Left-Back Miguel Gutierrez
Miguel Gutierrez, the talented left-back from Girona, has caught the attention of top Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester City. However, it seems that Real Madrid is leading the race to secure his signature this summer.
Gutierrez, who left Real Madrid for Girona in 2022, has been in exceptional form since then. He has made 63 appearances in all competitions for the Catalan club, who currently sit second in La Liga, just behind Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid.
While there is significant interest from Premier League clubs, Gutierrez is most likely to return to the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid retained 50% of his rights when he left, and they have the option to buy him back from Girona for as little as €8m (£6.8m) in the upcoming transfer window.
In fact, Gutierrez received a formal offer from an English top-flight club in January, but he turned it down. Bayern Munich has also expressed interest in the Spain Under-21 international, providing him with plenty of options for his future.
Girona will be hoping that Real Madrid does not exercise their buy-back option, as other clubs would have to pay a much higher fee for Gutierrez’s services. However, the player himself reportedly wants to return to Real Madrid and try to break into the first team in the Spanish capital once again.
Before joining Girona, Gutierrez had already made 10 appearances for Real Madrid as a youngster, featuring in both La Liga and the Champions League. This experience could make him an even more enticing prospect for potential suitors.
One glimmer of hope for Girona and other clubs interested in Gutierrez is Real Madrid’s rumored pursuit of Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies. The BBC has described Davies as a “key target” for Los Meringues, along with PSG striker Kylian Mbappe. If Real Madrid manages to secure Davies, it is unlikely that they will prioritize signing Gutierrez.
In conclusion, Miguel Gutierrez’s performances at Girona have attracted the attention of top Premier League clubs, but Real Madrid appears to be in the driving seat to bring him back to the Santiago Bernabeu. With the option to buy him back for a relatively low fee, it seems likely that Gutierrez will return to his former club. However, other clubs, including Bayern Munich, are also interested in the talented left-back, providing him with several options for his future.
