Real Madrid's Decision on Miguel Gutiérrez: No January Recall Planned
Real Madrid has opted not to activate the buy-back clause for left-back Miguel Gutiérrez during the January transfer window, allowing him to remain at Girona FC until the season's end.
Real Madrid has decided against exercising the buy-back option for Miguel Gutiérrez in the upcoming January transfer window, ensuring the 22-year-old left-back continues his impressive stint at Girona FC until the season concludes.
Since his move to Girona, Gutiérrez has emerged as one of La Liga's standout left-backs, attracting interest from several top European clubs. Despite this, Girona is determined to retain him through the season, barring any unforeseen circumstances such as significant injuries or urgent transfer needs.
While Real Madrid holds a favorable position due to a partial ownership stake and a buy-back clause, the club's current focus for strengthening the left-back position appears to be on Alphonso Davies. Consequently, any potential move for Gutiérrez is deferred to the summer, when Real Madrid may consider activating the clause to either reintegrate him into their squad or negotiate a higher transfer fee.
It's noteworthy that Gutiérrez is a product of Real Madrid's academy, and his development at Girona is being closely monitored by the Madrid hierarchy.
