Real Madrid, after a season without winning anything, must reinforce almost all lines. The defense, combined with bad luck due to numerous injuries, is not in its best form. Specifically, the left flank has been one of the most criticized.
In that position are Fran García and Ferland Mendy, who haven't met expectations. The Spaniard came as the revolution of the left-back, but he has amounted to nothing. Meanwhile, the Frenchman certainly defends very well, but nothing more, he contributes nothing in attack.
It is clear that now, for the new stage with Xabi Alonso, changes must be made. Neither Fran García nor Ferland Mendy have enough quality to be starters in the new Real Madrid. Precisely for this reason, Florentino Pérez will pay 50 million for a new full-back.
Madrid has a new full-back: the details of his signing
Real Madrid is reinforcing especially in defense and part of the new project is already being seen. Los Merengues have already secured Trent Alexander-Arnold. There is also talk that the Spanish center-back from Bournemouth, Dean Huijsen, would also be secured.
But in addition, for days it has been known that Álvaro Carreras will be the new owner of the left flank of Bernabéu. Xabi Alonso will bet on him and Florentino Pérez will sign him for Real Madrid starting May 25, so that he is present in the Club World Cup.
Álvaro Carreras will sign for six seasons, until 2029, in a clear future bet by the white club. As for his salary, it will be adjusted to Real Madrid's salary scale. It is estimated that he would earn between 5 and 10 million euros net per year.
Álvaro Carreras, present and future of Bernabéu
Álvaro Carreras stands out for his versatility, speed, and vision of the game despite being a full-back. He contributes a lot in defense and attack, which is why he would fit into Real Madrid's counterattack play. He will sign until 2031 to secure that position with the signing of present and future.
It is said that Real Madrid will disburse a figure close to 50 million euros to Benfica. Without a doubt, the intention of Los Blancos is to make this type of generational signings that will make Alaba, Rudiger, or Militao forgotten. Álvaro Carreras will be the new top-tier of the Merengue team.
