Revealed: Real Madrid's Bundesliga plan for wonderkids Endrick & Arda Guler

According to Sport BILD (h/t Get Germany Football News), Real Madrid plan to loan out youngsters Arda Guler and Endrick to Bundesliga clubs, ensuring they receive consistent playing time. This move is intended to accelerate their development and help them improve significantly.

Guler and Endrick have struggled to find regular playing time under Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti, this season. The former was expected to find a prominent squad role after he turned heads at the EURO 2024 with Turkey. However, he has played less than 1,000 minutes across all competitions.

Endrick, on the other hand, arrived from Palmeiras and has already scored six goals for Los Blancos, four of them in the Copa del Rey and one each on debut in La Liga and Champions League. He, just like Guler, has found minutes hard to come by, having to compete for a spot with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, and Brahim Diaz, all world-class names in their own right.

Reports from Spain have mentioned that the teenage duo are frustrated by the lack of playing time under Ancelotti and are on the lookout for a summer exit in search of more minutes. However, the report from Sport BILD states that RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt have been keeping tabs on the situation of Guler, with the former also wanting to sign Endrick on loan. A potential loan, however, will depend on whether the aforementioned Bundesliga clubs secure a Champions League spot for the 2025-26 season, as Real Madrid’s decision-makers want their young duo to gain experience in high-stakes matches during their loan spell.

While Endrick came on for the last few minutes during his team's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 on Tuesday evening, Guler had to watch the entire game from the bench, even with Dani Ceballos out injured and Jude Bellingham serving a suspension. They will be hoping Ancelotti gives them some minutes when Madrid host Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, March 9.
