Real Madrid refuse to lose faith in 23-year-old summer arrival amid mixed performances

As per a recent report from Defensa Central, it has been learned that Real Madrid remain fully committed to Alvaro Carreras as their long-term solution at left-back, despite a season marked by inconsistency.

As per the outlet, Real Madrid view Carreras as a strategic investment rather than a short-term fix.

Regardless of who takes charge as manager next season, the decision around the defender has already been made.

On that note, though, Real Madrid expect improvement in his second year, but their trust in his potential remains intact.

A long-term investment

It must be noted that Madrid invested heavily to bring Carreras in last summer.

At just 23 years old, the defender is still in a developmental phase, and the club see him as a player who can grow into one of the best in his position with more experience at the highest level.

Within the club, the assessment is that Carreras has the attributes required but needs consistency to match his potential. His first season has been a mix of promise and setbacks.

Notably, Carreras, who is generating Premier League interest, has logged 3,222 minutes in his debut season, showing that he has been trusted regularly.
