Real Madrid Confidencial Exciting Game against Barça, Wink to Madrid from Star Player Europe Wants to Transfer
The Spanish soccer player surprised everyone by showcasing the immense quality he has in his soccer boots
The controversy is served after Barcelona's very tight victory against Benfica in the Champions League. The referee's decisions in the game have sparked a lot of debate on social media. Some even venture to claim that the Barça club was clearly favored and managed to make a comeback. Be that as it may, Real Madrid's focus is not at all on those discussions.
Especially because the attention of the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez is directed at the performance of Bruno Lage's pupils. Specifically, a defender who gave Lamine Yamal a very tough game. Barcelona's '19' is always one of the best offensive arguments Hansi Flick has at his disposal, but he wasn't 'sharp' during the Portuguese coliseum's visit.
The main reason Yamal had a game with below-expected stats is named Álvaro Carreras. Benfica's '3' knew how to control his opponent throughout the game. Keeping him very close in defensive marks and even having time to join the attack. The well-rounded profile this Spanish fullback has shown, despite his team's defeat, hasn't gone unnoticed in the Valdebebas offices, Juni Calafat takes note.
Alphonso Davies's failed transfer as a free agent has made it clear that Madrid only moved for the '19' because it was a market opportunity. The white bosses believe that, with Ferland Mendy and Fran García, there would be enough players to manage the left flank position... at least until a 2027 summer that is closer than it seems.
Has a star been born?
The discreet movements of the white club in that particular sector of the market, the left-back position, don't compare to those made to sign a central defender soon. However, that doesn't mean the Madrid sports management has completely disengaged from signing a player who promises a lot... like Álvaro Carreras himself: "I grew up in football like Marcelo, as a left-back".
This statement of intent brings him closer to Real Madrid much more than it seems. Not in vain, Carreras himself had a brief stint at La Fábrica between 2017 and 2019. Shortly after, he joined the formative ranks of Manchester United, a club that loaned him twice to Benfica.
At just 21 years old, Álvaro Carreras has earned a starting position in one of the best teams in the Primeira Liga. His achievements accumulated to date, as well as the excellent match played against FC Barcelona, would have placed him on the list of potential candidates for this highly important position.
Especially because the generational change in defense is not easy to complete. While it's true that Alexander-Arnold's transfer for the right side is already in place, completing the process started in the summer of 2018 will require a lot of money and patience. Especially if the desire is to sign an Álvaro Carreras definitively transferred to Benfica last summer.
