AS: Real Madrid finalize Güler renewal, with pay rise and contract extension until 2031

According to AS, Güler and Real Madrid are preparing to sign a new contract, with the deal expected to be extended until 2031 and including a salary increase clause.

The new contract will better reflect Güler's current status in the Real Madrid squad and the achievements he has made since joining in the summer of 2023, especially the continuous growth he has shown in recent months. Real Madrid's management hopes to recognize his contributions to the team while using a long-term contract to ensure the player remains at the club. Güler's financial package and contract terms are set to improve.

The renewal plan has already been launched by both sides. The new contract will run until 2031 and will increase Güler's salary, making his terms match his performances and commitment at Real Madrid.

The two sides have reached a full agreement, and the new contract will take effect from this season. Güler was only 18 years old when he joined Real Madrid in 2023, and he has now become an almost indispensable player in Mourinho's plans. Mourinho believes Güler is better suited to operate closer to the opponent's penalty area rather than in the defensive midfield role, which is more suitable for players such as Bernardo Silva, Valverde, Camavinga or Tchouaméni.

When Güler joined Real Madrid, he signed a contract valid until June 30, 2029. However, Real Madrid is pushing for this renewal to clearly acknowledge that Güler's importance within the team has changed significantly. He is no longer the 18-year-old who arrived in Madrid and still needed to adapt to Real Madrid's high demands.

Güler gradually developed into an important player for the team last season and has continued in that role at the start of this season. Mourinho believes this attacking midfielder can change matches when positioned closer to the opponent's goal, and he has already communicated this view to the club's management. The club is very satisfied with his training attitude, performances and level of commitment.

Güler's statistics from last season were enough to remove all doubts. He made 51 appearances, scored 6 goals and provided 14 assists. In the first month after the start of this season, he has already played in 4 La Liga matches. He was unable to appear in the Champions League due to suspension, and has contributed 1 goal and 1 assist.
