The Spanish left-back, a product of Real Madrid’s academy, departed the club in 2022 to join Girona. Throughout the current season, Gutierrez has established himself as a key player in the team’s starting lineup, featuring in 25 La Liga matches and contributing one goal along with four assists.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Manchester United, one of the Premier League’s top clubs, has been closely monitoring Gutierrez’s performances and may consider signing him during the summer transfer window. The report suggests that the player’s contract includes a €8m (£6m) buy-back clause, which Real Madrid intends to activate next season, although they are on the verge of securing a deal for Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies.

In addition to Manchester United, several other English clubs are keeping an eye on the situation of the Girona defender and may pursue him once the transfer window opens. Gutierrez’s current contract with Girona extends until 2027.

At present, the defender’s primary focus remains on his club’s ambitions in the La Liga title race. Girona’s next fixture is against Mallorca in a league encounter scheduled for Sunday.
