Real Madrid, Barcelona establish contact with teenage midfielder over free transfer in 2023
According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid are among the clubs interested in the services of Javi Guerra. The young midfielder currently plies his trade with Valencia’s youth setup and is regarded as one of the most gifted players to come out of the club’s academy in recent years.
Guerra has built a solid reputation in the youth divisions due to his ability to control the ball and distribute possession all around the park. He is also a technical player, who can dribble past players, if necessary.
The 19-year-old made his professional debut with Valencia last season, under the leadership of Jose Bordalas. The player has been involved in Valencia’s senior team training this season, though he has yet to feature under Gennaro Gattuso.
With his current contract at Valencia expiring at the end of the season, there is a possibility Guerra could leave the club in 2023. Real Madrid have already been alerted to his situation and are actively trying to lure him from Valencia on a free transfer before the start of next season.
Real Madrid are not the only club interested in the services of Javi Guerra. The midfielder has been courted by arch-rivals Barcelona as well.
The Catalans are even confident about the pursuit as they appear to have good contacts with the player’s representatives. Guerra’s representative, Integral Advising Football, is contracted with Barcelona players such as Inaki Pena and Ez Abde.
Real Madrid, though, have established first contacts with Javi Guerra over a potential move to Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season.
The club have developed a reputation for their ability to nurture young talents in the recent past, thus making the Santiago Bernabeu an appealing destination for the player.
Valencia are thought to be keen on keeping hold of Guerra. However, they are yet to reach an agreement with the player, who has not yet responded to a contract extension offer.
The current edition of the Real Madrid squad is full of young talents, who have shown remarkable potential in recent years.
Arda Guler is among the young players looking to make a mark in European football in the years to come.
The young Turk joined Real Madrid earlier this summer, rejecting many other European giants in the process.
Toni Kroos mentoring Guler at Real Madrid
Guler has not enjoyed the best of starts to his life at Santiago Bernabeu, as he is spending a brief time on the sidelines due to an injury.
However, Guler has not stopped working on his characteristics, as he looks to kickstart his Real Madrid career on a positive note.
To that end, the former Fenerbahce starlet is receiving some key support from one of Real Madrid’s midfield pillars in the form of Toni Kroos.
This is according to MARCA, which suggests that the German international is mentoring Guler in his early days at Santiago Bernabeu.
Kroos: huge ‘sponsor’ of Guler
The report highlights how Toni Kroos is a huge admirer of Arda Guler. The German had even heaped praise on the youngster from Turkey when he joined the club earlier in the summer.
Guler, therefore, is closely training with Kroos, whose years of experience, composure, and knowledge of football, could help the youngster grow at Santiago Bernabeu.
This fits in well with Carlo Ancelotti’s vision at Real Madrid, as the Italian boss wants youngsters to have room to grow, especially with guidance from some of the older guards in the team.
It is one of the key reasons Real Madrid wanted to stick to Kroos and Luka Modric, despite bringing in Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham in the summer.
Guler, therefore, has the stage set for him to start his Real Madrid career on a strong note. After impressing in training, the next step for the youngster is to make a promising debut, which is just around the corner.
