La Liga
The name of Miguel Gutiérrez has caused a real earthquake in the capital. The left-back of Girona is very close to becoming a new player for Atlético de Madrid, which has sparked strong discontent among Real Madrid supporters. The defender, trained in Valdebebas, was one of the standout players in LaLiga last season, and his potential move to the Metropolitano has reopened old wounds between both clubs.
The reason for Madridista's anger
At the colchonero club, they are clear that they need to reinforce the left side of their defense, and the Girona player fits perfectly into the profile they are looking for. At 23 years old, he has shown defensive sobriety and offensive ability, being key in his team's great campaign. Therefore, Atlético has decided to act quickly and position itself as the main candidate to secure his services once the summer transfer market opens.
What has sparked anger in Chamartín is that Real Madrid had a preferential option on the player and the possibility of re-signing him for an already stipulated amount. However, the merengue board has not activated that clause, despite requests from fans and the player's evident performance. This inaction has been interpreted as a strategic mistake by a good part of the Madridismo.
The potential signing by the eternal rival has raised tension, especially among those who believe that letting a homegrown talent slip away to strengthen the direct maximum competitor is not justified from a sporting standpoint. Meanwhile, Miguel Gutiérrez remains focused on the final stretch of the season with Girona, although his future seems destined to be tinted red and white if nothing changes in the coming weeks.
