Miguel Gutiérrez's Agent Reveals His Future Plans: 'Return to Real Madrid?'

The footballer's representative talks about the possible return trip to the capital of Spain

In addition to the search for a right-back, a center-back, and a possible midfielder, Real Madrid also keeps an eye on the opportunity to expand other positions in the first team. As an example, the work that the scouts led by Juni Calafat have done in finding several left-backs for the club's executives.

One of the most notable players in that category is Alphonso Davies. The Canadian '19', seriously injured during the last international break, was on the verge of joining Santiago Bernabéu locker room not long ago. But he decided to renew with Bayern Munich with an improved contract that now raises more than one eyebrow in the Bavarian capital.

Without the Bayern Munich footballer, Real Madrid would have turned to a left-back trained at La Fábrica: Miguel Gutiérrez. The current '3' of Girona, who arrived at Montilivi in the summer of 2022, has become one of Míchel's key starters, and his performance has sparked multiple exit rumors. So far, no operation has been finalized, not even with Real Madrid, according to his agent's words.

Despite everything, Daniel Méndez warns that "it can happen" because "it's stipulated in the contract" and because "the footballer is delivering an optimal level and performance" that surprises... and that is maintained even through some minor discomfort that the Madrid '3' has been carrying "in recent weeks".

Doesn't Lose Sight

Daniel Méndez sees Miguel Gutiérrez as a player "very reliable in everything he does, clubs also look for that". At the same time, the agent of the left-back trained at La Fábrica doesn't hide that his return to Santiago Bernabéu locker room would be a very favored operation by his environment.

"I think everyone knows Miguel Gutiérrez's desire, he has said it repeatedly", states Daniel Méndez. Despite his insistence on theoretically signing for Real Madrid, he also makes it clear that "it doesn't depend on him. Since it doesn't depend on him, whatever is best for him and best for everyone will happen", argues the Girona player's agent.

Despite that message, Daniel Méndez speaks clearly: "if he returns to Real Madrid, then we'll all be happy". But "if he doesn't return to Madrid, we'll have to be happy too because we'll find a solution that is suitable and good for everyone" for the left-back's competitive future.

Meanwhile, apart from those words from Miguel Gutiérrez's agent, Real Madrid continues to explore the left-back market to find the best option. The name of the homegrown player remains more relevant than ever in the club's orbit, but it remains to be seen what plans the executives led by Florentino Pérez have in that regard.
