Although Álvaro Carreras has been the preferred option to reinforce Real Madrid's left-back position, recent complications in the negotiation with Benfica have forced the white club to consider alternatives. Among them, the name of Theo Hernández emerges strongly, who could become Plan B if no progress is made with the young Spanish player. The Whites' interest in solidifying that flank has intensified, and the name of the Milan player is back on the table at Valdebebas.

The signing of Carreras seemed well on track, but in recent days, the discussions have lost momentum. The uncertainty surrounding his incorporation has led the club's sports officials to reactivate old reports and study in greater detail options that had previously been set aside. This is where Theo Hernández emerges as a real possibility, both for his experience and his previous knowledge of the Madrid environment.

Real Madrid contemplates Theo Hernández's return

The French full-back is going through a tense period with the Milan board, and his continuity at San Siro is not guaranteed. His contract expires in 2026, but the relationship with the Lombard club has cooled off, and there are already signs that they would be willing to negotiate an exit this summer. With an estimated price of around 25 million euros, he is seen as a more accessible market opportunity than other candidates.

Although Grimaldo and Kerkez are also being considered but are less viable at the moment, Theo represents an immediate and reliable solution. His performance in Serie A and his prominent role in European competitions endorse his profile. If the negotiations for Carreras do not succeed, Real Madrid could swiftly make a move to secure a signing that not long ago seemed impossible.
