Arda Güler Starts Preseason Training at Real Madrid Under Mourinho
Arda Güler has joined Real Madrid's preseason training under new manager José Mourinho, becoming the first World Cup participant to return to Valdebebas. The Turkish midfielder is a player Mourinho has shown significant interest in, having previously tried to loan him at Fenerbahçe. Güler's strong connection with Kylian Mbappé last season (8 assists to the French striker) is noted as a key asset. However, competition for starting spots is intense: Bernardo Silva's arrival makes the attacking midfield position more expensive, and Güler may also compete with Federico Valverde for the right flank. The article describes this as a decisive year for Güler, with Mourinho planning to use him in a 4-2-3-1 formation alongside Aurélien Tchouaméni. Valverde and Antonio Rüdiger are expected to return later this week.
