Real Madrid Confidencial Carreras's signing leaves him without a place, his farewell to Madrid will become official this week
After the official announcement, the club is preparing for a departure as a consequence
Real Madrid finally made Álvaro Carreras's signing official this Monday for next season. They had tried before the Club World Cup, but Benfica flatly refused despite the agreement they had. That delayed the operation until now, when it could finally be completed and announced.
With Carreras's arrival, Real Madrid now has 3 left backs in the first team squad. Mendy, who renewed his contract last year and has communicated his intentions to stay this season. Fran García, whose continuity Xabi Alonso has requested and who had a great Club World Cup.
That has left no place for Yusi, even though he performed at a good level with Raúl in Castilla this season. He could have been promoted to the first team from the reserves, but it's practically impossible for him. That's why they've looked for an exit for him and Alavés seemed to be the club with the best chance of signing him.
That will happen this week, as journalist Matteo Moretto, a transfer specialist, has announced. At Defensa Central, we've been able to confirm that they were waiting for Álvaro Carreras's arrival. Once that was completed, Yusi's departure to Alavés was confirmed.
Real Madrid doesn't rule out more departures at left back
Yusi's move to Alavés isn't official yet, but it's expected to be confirmed in the coming days. However, it's not the only one that's expected since right now Xabi Alonso has 3 names for that position. That might be excessive, which is why they're looking for a solution.
The Tolosa native is in favor of Fran García staying, especially after his great Club World Cup. In addition, he fits well into his system since Xabi prefers to use wing backs with a lot of offensive range. The former Rayo player fulfills that role, but he's the one in the most delicate situation.
That's because Mendy renewed his contract last summer and doesn't intend to leave right now. He has communicated this to the board, but Real Madrid also has another handicap with him. He's injured and it doesn't seem like they'll be able to put him on the market in the short term.
