Following a sizzling performance against Leganes on the weekend, Arda Guler continued his good run of form with yet another impressive display against Liverpool.

Unfortunately, he appeared to be the only individual who performed on the night, as Real Madrid fell to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Reds.

Nevertheless, Guler’s recent performances seem to suggest that the player may have a future at Real Madrid after all.

Real Madrid rule out Guler exit

Keeping that in mind, Fichajes reports that Real Madrid have closed the door on the potential exit of Guler ahead of the upcoming January transfer window.

This is important especially considering the fact that the Turkish international has been linked with a move away from Santiago Bernabeu throughout the campaign so far.

There have been also murmurs that the youngster is not happy at the club due to the lack of trust shown by Ancelotti.

However, Real Madrid’s intentions are clear. They want to keep hold of the youngster’s services for the foreseeable future and are not considering either a loan or a permanent sale.

Real Madrid’s renewed faith towards Guler has been quite visible lately, with Ancelotti publicly backing the playmaker recently.

The player has also started Real Madrid’s last two competitive matches despite considerable competition for the creative positions.

Therefore, it won’t indeed be surprising to see Guler continuing to ply his trade at Real Madrid despite intense speculation over his future.

However, it is equally important that the Turkish international maintain his current run of form, if he is to truly establish himself as a first-team regular at the Bernabeu.

Mourinho rules out January loan exit for fringe youngster after Real Madrid heroics: ‘Mark my words again…’

Jose Mourinho has made his position on Endrick’s future at Real Madrid clear, insisting that the Brazilian forward will not be allowed to leave on loan in January despite his limited playing time this season.

The 20-year-old delivered a decisive performance in Real Madrid’s dramatic 4-3 Champions League victory over AS Roma, helping turn a 1-3 deficit into a remarkable late win. 

Despite playing for only around 30 minutes, Endrick was named Player of the Match after scoring the equaliser and contributing to the attacking surge that completed the comeback.

His display has reignited discussion about his role under Mourinho, but the Madrid manager appears determined to keep the young forward at the club.

Mourinho sends message on Endrick’s Real Madrid future

Endrick started the Roma match on the bench but entered the contest around the hour mark as Real Madrid searched for a way back into the game. 

He made a quick impact, providing the physical presence and attacking threat the team needed during the closing stages.

His equaliser came five minutes from time, helping Madrid draw level before Antonio Rudiger completed the turnaround. 

After the match, Mourinho was asked about the possibility of the Brazilian leaving during the January transfer window. His response left little room for speculation.

“Mark my words again, it is impossible for Endrick to be loaned out,” said the manager, as per Fabrizio Romano.

Endrick’s limited minutes fuel loan speculation

Endrick’s lack of involvement has become a concern, as he has played just 35 minutes across two appearances in Real Madrid’s first 10 official matches of the season.

That limited exposure has naturally raised questions about how the Brazilian can continue developing without regular competitive football. 

A loan move could offer more minutes, but Mourinho’s comments indicate that Madrid are not currently prepared to consider that route.

Endrick’s performance in Rome has also strengthened his argument for greater involvement. 

Notably, though, one impressive appearance does not automatically guarantee a starting place, and Endrick will need to turn opportunities off the bench into consistent performances if he is to secure a larger role.

Roma among clubs linked with Endrick as Madrid stand firm

Interestingly, Roma are among several clubs interested in Endrick, making Mourinho’s position particularly significant given their recent meeting with Real Madrid.

The Italian side and other potential suitors may have to reconsider their plans if Real Madrid continue to insist that the forward is staying. 

For now, the club’s priority appears to be retaining Endrick and finding ways to integrate him more regularly into the first team.

His late impact against Roma has given Mourinho another reason to trust him, but the challenge will be ensuring that the Brazilian receives enough opportunities to build on that performance.
