Miguel Gutierrez, a “bargain” for Real Madrid’s left-back?

Real Madrid’s top priority for the left side remains securing Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich.

However, the club led by Florentino Pérez is also closely monitoring the impressive performances of Miguel Gutierrez at Girona.

Real Madrid is eager to make a splash in the summer transfer window.

The plan is straightforward: the La Liga and Europa League champions aim to make several key additions to strengthen Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

This includes bolstering the left side of the defense.

As the final details of Ferland Mendy’s contract renewal are being worked out, Alphonso Davies stands out as the primary target for that position.

With the possibility of joining as a free agent if he doesn't renew with Bayern Munich, there's also the option of Miguel Gutiérrez (23 years old) that shouldn't be overlooked.

Miguel Gutierrez is excelling at Girona

A full-back who has become a cornerstone for Girona, he is highly valued by his coach Míchel Sánchez.

Relevo and the newspaper As note that the Merengue team retains half of the transfer rights for their former youth player, along with a buy-back option of €8 million.

This clause will increase to €9 million in 2025 and €10 million in 2026, but for now, they are not considering activating it.

Nevertheless, our colleagues at Marca suggest that “bringing in a player of Miguel Gutierrez’s caliber would provide Ancelotti with more options to maneuver the limited defensive resources he has, such as potentially using Mendy as a center-back if needed or even as a right-back on his weaker foot.

Additionally, Miguel would significantly enhance a Real Madrid side struggling with playmaking, which is one of the Girona full-back’s strengths.

The simplicity of ‘Operation Miguel Gutierrez’ in both strategic and financial terms makes him a viable option to consider.”
