Real Madrid has been planning to make Guerre transform into a midfielder, and Mastantono will not affect his playing time

August 21, The Athletic Real Madrid reporter Mario Cortegana talked about Guerre's situation and Real Madrid's midfielder's plans in answering fans' questions.

reporters believe that if a legendary midfielder must be chosen as a role model for Guerre, it would be Modric rather than Kroos. The club has been planning to transform the 20-year-old Turkish international into a midfield after Modric and Kroos left the team. The player himself also said in an interview that he had discussed the matter with the then Real Madrid coach Ancelotti before signing with Real Madrid two years ago.

Alonso's arrival this summer has accelerated Guerre's transformation into a midfield. The club explained to the players that he will stand further back on the court, and that Mastantono's arrival will not affect his playing time. Bardebebas staff and other club sources have had doubts in the past about moving Guerre to a deeper position, believing that this would lead to his loss of potential in offense, after all, Guerre has excellent assists and scoring abilities. However, Alonso seems convinced that Guerre can maintain both performances.

Mastantono's situation is different from Guerre. Real Madrid believes that he is a player who can adapt to almost any position on the attacking line and is not regarded as the kind of midfielder who can organize attacks from the backcourt. Interestingly, according to a source at the end of 2022, the player's early reports highlighted Mastantono's performance in one-on-one situations and the personality he showed when he was in control of the game on the court.

The reporter believes that Real Madrid will not introduce a player this summer to directly replace Modric or Cross. Real Madrid's board of directors believes that the team already has very outstanding midfielders and has invested a lot of money in them, and they hope to continue to develop on this basis.
