Real Madrid staff unhappy with 2025 summer signing’s ‘attitude and professionalism’ – report

Alvaro Carreras was a major bet made by Real Madrid in the summer last year as they signed the former La Fabrica talent from SL Benfica for a fee of €50 million.

The 23-year-old left-back instantly became a permanent fixture in the starting XI under former manager Alvaro Arbeloa, enjoying a strong start to life back at the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, with time, Carreras’ performances declined, inconsistencies crept up in his game, and mistakes started happening on the field.

His significance in the team has been waning since Alvaro Arbeloa took over. So much so that the left-back lost his undisputed starter status in the team, with Ferland Mendy (when fit) and Fran Garcia pushing for more opportunities.

Concerns about Carreras

Now, according to The Athletic, members of the Real Madrid coaching staff have complained about Carreras’ ‘attitude and professionalism’.

This comes after the Spanish left-back was seen smiling on the bench after Mendy’s injury against Espanyol last weekend, with Arbeloa opting to replace the Frenchman with Garcia.
