Despite this, his future is uncertain. Real Madrid holds an €8m buyback option and a 50% sell-on clause since his move to Girona for €4m two years ago.
However, Real Madrid is still undecided about their left-back situation and whether to pursue him. On the other hand, Girona is keen to retain Gutierrez, offering him a starting role and Champions League football next season.
Several potential destinations could emerge for Gutierrez this summer. According to Matteo Moretto, Arsenal and Bayern Munich, both of whom scouted him earlier this season, are closely monitoring his situation. With his age, performance level, and versatile skills, Gutierrez could become one of the most sought-after left-backs in the transfer market.
Despite Girona having a €40m release clause in his contract, major clubs may see his value due to his contributions, such as facilitating Girona’s dominance in games by effectively operating as an additional midfielder during possession.
