Real Madrid Confidencial Álvaro Carreras has already signed with Real Madrid, this is the number he will wear
The full-back is being presented this Tuesday and has revealed what his jersey number will be
This past Monday, Real Madrid officially announced the signing of Álvaro Carreras after many rumors. The club had tried before the World Cup, but it was after the tournament when it was confirmed. This Tuesday, he is experiencing an exciting day with his presentation with the white team.
It's a day when many details are revealed, one of them being which number he will wear at Real Madrid. From the available options, he has finally chosen number 18. He leaves behind his time with Benfica, where we saw him wearing "3" on his back.
With the white team, he takes over from Vallejo, who had worn that number during the last season. Previously, Tchouaméni had worn it, and he will share the locker room with him this season. Now, Carreras will wear "18" on his jersey this season.
We will see what happens in the future, whether he decides to change it or continues wearing it long-term at the club. It seems unlikely that he will be able to wear "3," which he wore at Benfica. Right now, that number belongs to Militao (3) and the Brazilian still has a long way to go.
Álvaro Carreras arrives to be a starter at Madrid
Xabi Alonso was clear that he wanted to sign Álvaro Carreras to have him for this summer's Club World Cup. It wasn't possible because Benfica refused to let him leave before July 1. Even though the whites were willing to pay his release clause to make it happen, they didn't want to allow it.
Despite that, Carreras arrives at Real Madrid to be a starter in Xabi Alonso's plans. It's true that we don't know what will happen with the left-back this summer, and that Mendy and Fran García are in doubt. The new player for the white team seems to be ahead of both.
During the summer, we will see who leaves or if, on the contrary, both stay at Real Madrid. Xabi prefers Fran to remain under his orders, especially after his great Club World Cup. Ferland has already communicated that he doesn't intend to leave and last summer renewed his contract.
