Confirmed: Álvaro Carreras Set to Join Real Madrid
One of the names most closely linked to Real Madrid in recent weeks is that of Álvaro Carreras, the promising left-back who has emerged as a top priority for the club. Following a season of ups and downs, Madrid has made it a clear objective to strengthen its full-back positions. With Trent Alexander-Arnold reportedly targeted for the right side, Carreras is set to take over the left flank.
The 21-year-old, who has shone at Benfica this season, is just one step away from becoming a Madrid player. According to sources close to the club, Real Madrid plans to finalize the signing this week, with Carreras scheduled to begin training at Valdebebas on June 2.
🔙 A Homecoming to Valdebebas
Carreras is no stranger to Madrid. He was part of Los Blancos’ academy between 2017 and 2020, and now looks ready to return — this time, as a first-team signing. After an impressive campaign in Portugal, where he racked up 4,385 minutes across all competitions, Carreras has proven he’s prepared to make the leap to the elite level.
The decision to bring him back stems from his consistent performances, tactical maturity, and physical growth, making him the ideal candidate to solidify Madrid’s left-back position for years to come.
📝 Almost Done Deal
Although the transfer has yet to be officially completed, everything is pointing toward a swift conclusion. The scheduled training date — June 2nd — shows just how far along the operation is. The club is confident of securing the move in the coming days, especially with competition from other teams rising due to Carreras’ stellar form.
Sources indicate that Carreras only has eyes for Madrid, despite the interest from several European clubs.
🏆 Preparing for the Club World Cup
Real Madrid’s urgency in finalizing this signing is tied to their upcoming participation in the Club World Cup, a major objective for the summer. The club is moving quickly in the market to ensure a fully competitive squad, and Carreras is viewed as a key piece in that puzzle.
With his return all but confirmed, Álvaro Carreras is set to reunite with Valdebebas and start the next chapter of his career at the club where it all began.
