Real Madrid 2025 summer signing on the radars of Arsenal, Manchester United – report
Alvaro Carreras was one of Real Madrid’s biggest investments last summer, with the club shelling out €50 million to re-sign their former academy prospect from SL Benfica.
The 23-year-old Spanish left-back started the season strongly as well, soon going on to become a permanent fixture in the team on the back of impressive displays in attack and defence.
However, inconsistencies started to creep into his game in the second half of the season and he eventually lost his status as an undisputed starter, as the likes of Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia also made a case for greater involvement when given opportunities.
