Real Madrid continues to assess movements in its squad for the upcoming season, and one of the names that had gained significance at the Bernabéu offices was Álvaro Carreras. The young left-back from Benfica had caught the attention of the white club, which was seriously considering paying the 50 million euros of his release clause. However, the emergence of Fran García in the Club World Cup has led to an unexpected twist in the plans.
The signing of Álvaro Carreras by Real Madrid is in jeopardy
Throughout much of the Ancelotti era, Fran García was criticized for his defensive fragility and lack of impact in crucial moments. Nevertheless, under the new coach's guidance, the former Rayo Vallecano player has regained his best form, showing solidity in defense and daring in attack, which has restored the confidence of both the board and the team in his potential.
This evolution of the left-back has led the club's top management to rethink their strategy. While Álvaro Carreras remains a profile that is liked for his youth and potential, his signing has shifted from being a priority to being under evaluation. Benfica, on the other hand, is not in a hurry to sell and refers to his clause, adding an economic factor that Madrid is carefully considering.
With this new scenario, Xabi Alonso will have to decide whether he prefers to bet on the continuity of a player who has already shown adaptation to the system or push for the arrival of the young Spaniard based in Portugal. The summer planning of the Merengue team is in full swing, and although nothing is ruled out, the fact is that the scenario has changed radically in just a few weeks.
