This season’s Spanish Primera Liga sensation team Girona FC left-back Miguel Gutierrez (22) has decided to stay despite the interest of big clubs.

Spanish media “Relevo” said on the 7th, “Gutierrez, who is receiving the attention of the big club in the English Premier League, received an official offer in the transfer market this winter, but refused.”

Gutierrez is a Spanish left-back. He played full-back who penetrated the left sideline when he was a promising player, but recently he has come to the center to be involved in the development of attacks or form a numerical advantage in addition to overlap, breakthrough, and attack support.

Gutierrez is a former Real Madrid youth. He was with the Getafe CF youth team from 2006 to 2011, and played for the Real youth team from 2011 to 2020. He was also on the radar of then Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho in 2017, but he remained with Real.

From the 2020-21 season, Gutierrez started to play for Real second-tier Castile and contributed to winning the UEFA Youth League, showing outstanding performance among players of the same age. Eventually, he made his professional debut as a substitute in a match against Kadis CF in the 32nd round of La Liga this season.

Gutierrez participated in four consecutive games from round 34 to round 37, and started in round 36 and 37, emerging as a rising star for Real. However, Gutierrez suffered during the 2021-22 season. He played in only three La Liga games due to ulcerative colitis.

Ahead of the last season, Gutierrez chose to transfer. He signed a contract with Girona until June 2027. Gutierrez became the core player of Girona shortly after the transfer. In the 2022-23 season, he played 34 matches in La Liga with two goals and three assists, helping him rank 10th in the league.

He has improved even more this season. Gutierrez started all 22 games in La Liga, scoring one goal and three assists. Notably, in an away game against Barcelona in round 16, he played as a left-side midfielder, showing off literally crazy performance.

Girona is currently ranked second in La Liga thanks to Gutierrez`s performance. The team is only two points behind top-ranked Real (58 points). It also has a six-point gap with third-ranked Barcelona, which is highly likely to secure at least the runner-up spot. Tickets for the UEFA Champions League are almost certain.

Other clubs’ interest followed when Gutierrez performed well this season. Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City showed interest. They even received official offers in the transfer market this winter.

Nevertheless, Gutierrez chose to stay. The reason was that it was his dream to play for Real. “Gutierrez promised a commitment in Girona, where he is having a crazy season, and he decided to stay because he wanted to play for Real,” Relebo explained. 파워볼사이트

After the end of this season, Gutierrez’s dream can come true. “Real Madrid inserted 50 percent of Gutierrez’s rights into the deal. It has a buyback clause of 8 million euros next summer. Real Madrid is keeping an eye on Gutierrez and is always informed about the players,” Lelebo said.
