Real Madrid are carefully evaluating the best course of action regarding the future of their former defender, Miguel Gutierrez.

According to Real Madrid Confidencial, the club is exploring two possible scenarios—bringing him back into the squad or cashing in on his rising market value.

Gutierrez has been in excellent form since his move to Girona, proving himself as a key player in their squad. His performances last season caught the attention of top clubs, and he has continued to impress this season.

With over 2,300 minutes played across 28 matches, he has cemented his importance on the pitch and gained significant trust from his manager.

Impressing with his performance

At just 23 years old, he still has a long career ahead of him, making him an attractive option for Real Madrid.

His technical ability, composure, and consistency have positioned him as a strong candidate for a return.

Many within the club see him as a valuable addition to the squad, especially given Madrid’s long-term plans for defensive reinforcements.

However, another option on the table is to sell him for a significant fee. Madrid hold a 50% stake in his rights, meaning they could secure a sizeable sum if they decide to let him go.

Given the increasing interest from top European clubs, particularly in the Premier League, Madrid could take advantage of the situation and make a profitable sale.

There is no rush

The club’s management, led by Florentino Perez, is in no rush to make a final decision. They are carefully assessing all possibilities to ensure they make the best choice for both the short and long-term future.

Whether they reintegrate him into the squad or negotiate a lucrative transfer, Madrid’s priority is to maximise the benefits of his development.

For now, patience is key. The club will continue to monitor his performances while weighing up their options, ensuring that whichever decision they make is in Real Madrid’s best interest.
