Miguel Gutiérrez, about to sign: Carreras case settled and Madrid gives the OK

The operation Real Madrid has agreed to carry out affecting Miguel Gutiérrez's future

With the end of the season just days away, rumors about the future of several players have begun. After the irregular season Real Madrid has had, several players have been linked with a transfer to the club. One of them is Miguel Gutiérrez, who after his great performance at Girona, is ready to make the leap to another team.

With a buy-back clause, Real Madrid can secure his return without major issues. However, Napoli has shown a strong interest in acquiring Miguel's services. Considering the full-back as a solid option to strengthen the left flank, the desired return of Miguel to Real Madrid might not happen.

While his return would greatly reinforce the left-back position, Real Madrid's priority is the signing of Álvaro Carreras. Because of this, the club has accepted Miguel's departure to Napoli, with the player being close to signing his new contract.

Miguel Gutiérrez's future

Trained in Real Madrid's youth academy from 2011 to 2022, Miguel Gutiérrez decided to sign with Girona. Due to the lack of opportunities at Real Madrid, Miguel left with the hope of returning after a few seasons. Despite his performance exceeding expectations, being Girona's star, this has not been enough for Real Madrid.

Despite several rumors placing Miguel back at Real Madrid, the reality is that his future is away from Valdebebas and Spain. Napoli, which is still fighting against Inter for the Scudetto, considers Miguel to be a top-level reinforcement.

With the clear intention of continuing their winning project, Napoli is a great opportunity for Miguel. Being 23 years old and with the clear intention of continuing to progress in his career, Miguel is aware that his dream of Real Madrid will not be possible.

Real Madrid's desire

Despite everything Miguel could have contributed to Real Madrid, the club has much more trust in Álvaro Carreras. While his signing with Napoli might be sad given his desire to return to Real Madrid, Miguel has shown his maturity by being close to signing.
