2. Miguel Gutierrez
One of the players to breakthrough over the last few seasons, particularly in the last campaign, is former Real Madrid player Miguel Gutierrez. Given that he now represents Girona, the side who challenged Real Madrid the most in the last Liga season, Carlo Ancelotti will be well aware of the progress made by his former player.
In many ways, Real Madrid could envision the progress which was due to be made by Gutierrez when they sold him to Girona in 2022. The left-back has a tidy €8m buy-back clause in his Girona contract, so Real Madrid were clearly not willing to completely say bye to him two years ago.
The €8m buy-back clause is one which should seriously tempt Real Madrid. Especially since they have lost out in the race for Alphonso Davies, Miguel Gutierrez presents a golden opportunity to Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Perez to solidify their back-line for the future. After all, Gutierrez has plenty of Real Madrid and La Liga experience.
