La Liga
Real Madrid is very clear that one of their priorities for this transfer market is to reinforce the left-back position, and the chosen one to fill that role is Álvaro Carreras. The young Spanish footballer, who currently plays for Benfica, will return to his former home where he made a mark during his formative years in La Fábrica, leaving an impression up to the youth category. Now, after shining in Portugal, he is ready to come back to the white club and take on a leading role in the new project led by Xabi Alonso.
As recently leaked, Carreras will officially join the Merengue team starting on May 25, right after playing the final of the Portuguese Cup with his current team. He will sign a long-term contract, specifically for six seasons, and will be one of the significant reinforcements for Real Madrid ahead of the upcoming Club World Cup.
A Position Urgently Needing Reinforcement at Real Madrid
The operation, valued at around 50 million euros, responds to the club's urgent need to cover a defensive flank that has caused many headaches over the last season. The constant injuries in the defense, combined with the poor performance of some players, have forced the sports management to make important decisions.
With Carreras' arrival, the future of Ferland Mendy and Fran García is uncertain. Both full-backs could leave the team this summer, as there is no room for all three. Mendy, plagued by injuries, is one of the main candidates to depart from the squad, while Fran García could also be on the way out.
