The surprising hidden gem that Real Madrid has for the left-back position

Real Madrid continues with its usual planning for the future, seeking to strengthen its squad with young talents. In recent weeks, one of the names most linked to the white club has been Alphonso Davies, the left-back of Bayern Munich, whose contract expires in 2025. However, the interest of the merengue club could shift.

As reported by ' O Jogo ', Real Madrid has turned its attention to Álvaro Carreras, a promising Spanish defender who is shining at Benfica. This 21-year-old left-back, trained in the youth categories of Real Madrid itself, has made a leap in quality in the Portuguese league, becoming one of the standout players under the direction of Bruno Lage.

A young talent with the profile sought by Real Madrid

Carreras arrived at Benfica on loan from Manchester United last January, and his performance was so outstanding that the Portuguese club did not hesitate to exercise the purchase option for a figure close to six million euros. Since then, his progression has been meteoric, catching the attention of Real Madrid, which could consider his signing as a more accessible alternative to the Davies operation.

The main obstacle for the white club would be that Carreras has a contract with Benfica until 2029. Although he does not have a release clause, which could facilitate the negotiation, it is expected that the Lisbon club will not let him go easily. Regardless, the possibility of Real Madrid recovering one of its youth products generates expectations among fans, who would welcome the arrival of a young player with a promising future to strengthen the left-back position.
