Real Madrid, under the guidance of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, is contemplating the return of former player Miguel Gutiérrez after his impressive performances with his current team, Girona. The club is grappling with a significant injury crisis, with several key players sidelined for the rest of the season. According to Spanish newspaper *AS*, Gutiérrez’s return to Madrid is a strong possibility next summer.
The report highlights that Real Madrid holds half of Gutiérrez’s contract, and they have the option to buy him for €9 million next summer, or €10 million the following year. Gutiérrez, a Spanish full-back who can also play as a winger, has expressed confidence in his ability to contribute to the team, as shown by his assist in a recent match against Leganés.
With key defenders like Éder Militão and Lucas Vázquez injured in the recent 4-0 win against Osasuna, Ancelotti is keen on bolstering his defense. Gutiérrez has made 15 appearances for Girona this season, scoring twice and providing three assists.
