Real Madrid is determined to strengthen the left-back position next summer, and although Alphonso Davies is the top priority, the club is also considering Miguel Gutiérrez as an alternative. The young player, currently shining at Girona, could return to Santiago Bernabéu if the signing of the Canadian does not materialize. Davies, considered one of the best left-backs in the world, will be out of contract in 2025, which could allow Madrid to offer him a competitive deal without negotiating a high transfer fee. However, the competition for Davies will be fierce, and Real Madrid is open to exploring other options.

In this scenario, Miguel Gutiérrez emerges as a solid and cost-effective choice. Developed in the Madrid youth academy, Gutiérrez has significantly improved since joining Girona in 2022, becoming one of the standout full-backs in LaLiga. Moreover, his return would be financially advantageous: Real Madrid holds a buy-back clause for just eight million euros, valid until June 2025.

Real Madrid Needs to Reflect on the Decision

Although Ancelotti expressed confidence in Gutiérrez during his first tenure at the club, the young defender struggled to establish himself due to defensive issues. Nevertheless, his elite experience and current performance could convince the Italian coach to give him a second chance. As one of the best sporting and economic options for Real Madrid, Gutiérrez's return would only cost eight million euros with a reasonable salary. While Davies could potentially arrive for free after his Bayern contract expires, his wages might be among the highest in the squad, prompting Real Madrid to carefully consider the decision.
