Montella sees the youngster as a key part in Turkey's Euros push this summer.
He said, "It would be better for Real Madrid, the national team and Arda Gler if Arda plays a little more..."

Turkey's Italian coach also said that Arda will start the friendly match against Austria tomorrow afternoon.
Montella also said: "To be honest, I feel like we want to create problems when there aren't any. Arda is a player we want to see. He will probably start the next game. I want to ask a question, a player who hasn't played every game for 8 months... Do we need to risk the players?
"We should not get excited. I understand everyone very well, but we must be a little logical. We want to follow everyone, we want to evaluate everyone.
"I did not respond here with bad intentions."
