Real Madrid‘s young talents Endrick and Arda Güler are said to be thinking of loan moves to Bundesliga sides in light of limited playing opportunities under manager Carlo Ancelotti. Rumors of brief trips to Germany have circulated as both players have had difficulties getting consistent playing time this season.
Arda Güler’s Situation
Arda Güler, a 20-year-old Turkish midfielder, Joined Real Madrid from Fenerbahçe in 2023 for $21.5 million. He has scored nine goals and given five assists in 42 appearances since his arrival. Still, hard competition and injuries have reduced his time on the field due to which there is some dissatisfaction over his growth. Güler could be loaned to German teams RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt. Especially given the possible exits of top players like Benjamin Šeško and Xavi Simons, Leipzig regards him as an ideal addition. Frankfurt views Güler as well a valuable asset for their midfield. This fits Real Madrid’s policy of lending players to teams competing in the UEFA Champions League.
Endrick’s Scenario
An 18-year-old Brazilian forward, Endrick came from Palmeiras in 2024 to Real Madrid for €47 million. He has made 27 appearances and scored six goals With zero assists. Endrick has struggled to establish a starting position, leading to discussions about a loan move. RB Leipzig has shown interest in Endrick as a young talent who could benefit from regular playing time in the Bundesliga.
Real Madrid’s Loan Strategy
Real Madrid has a history of loaning young players to Bundesliga clubs to aid their development. Notable examples are Dani Carvajal and Achraf Hakimi, two players who grew to become key players in European football after their time in Germany. The club believes that the Bundesliga presents an appropriate setting for young players to acquire technical and tactical knowledge.
The point of view of Carlo Ancelotti
Despite the loan speculations, manager Carlo Ancelotti has denied any definite intention to loan out Güler and Endrick. He has inspired both players to work hard toward opportunities with the team and to remain patient. Ancelotti stressed that he chooses the best team for every match regardless of age and the young players must learn and develop.
What’s next?
Arda Güler and Endrick’s future is still uncertain as the summer transfer window looms. Although both athletes are hungry for more playing time, Real Madrid have to determine whether loan transfers to Bundesliga teams like RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt are the best options for their growth. The club’s history of profitable loan spells in Germany seems to indicate that this might be a good route for these rising stars.
