Girona said goodbye to a number of key players last summer, despite qualifying for the 2024/25 Champions League. One player they managed to keep was Miguel Gutierrez, although they may struggle to do so for much longer.
Interest in Gutierrez's services has increased in recent weeks. Real Madrid have him as an option to re-sign if they miss out on Alphonso Davies, while Manchester United were also in the race. Now CaughtOffside say Premier League leaders Liverpool have him on their shortlist of left-back targets.
Gutierrez, 23, has a release clause of €35 million, although Girona could accept slightly less if Liverpool come knocking. However, Real Madrid have the biggest advantage as they can bring him back to the Santiago Bernabeu for just €8m, as that is the value of their buy-back clause.
It appears Girona will struggle to retain Gutierrez's services next season, especially if they cannot secure European football. If he does go, they would certainly prefer it if he ended up in England.
