Critical decision from Mourinho: Arda Guler’s position is at risk

Jose Mourinho, who is expected to be the new head coach of Real Madrid, has already started making plans for the team’s future squad.

“Elchi” reports, citing “The Athletic”, that Mourinho has requested the management to sign a creative midfielder.

This has raised questions about the future of Real Madrid’s young star, Arda Guler.

According to the source, in light of Mourinho’s request, it is possible for the club to bring back former player Nico Paz, who currently plays for Como.

If this transfer takes place, competition in the midfield will increase further, and Arda Guler’s position in the starting lineup will be at risk.

It should be noted that Nico Paz is a product of the Madrid club’s academy and was transferred to Como last summer. It is reported that Real Madrid has a buy-back clause for the player.
