Real Madrid to Reacquire Álvaro Carreras for €50 Million After Breakout Season at Benfica

Posted : 18 May 2025

Real Madrid is set to spend around €50 million to bring back Álvaro Carreras, a talented left-back who began his youth career at the club but never broke into the senior team. After a standout season at Benfica, where he impressed especially in the Champions League, Carreras is expected to become a key part of Real’s squad overhaul for the 2025/2026 season. This return highlights what many see as a costly mistake for the club, letting him leave so early in his career.

 

Carreras’s journey started in his hometown youth teams before moving to Deportivo La Coruña and then joining Real Madrid’s academy in 2017. After three years, he transferred to Manchester United but struggled to settle, going on loan to clubs like Preston North End and Granada. Eventually, Benfica signed him for €6 million, and his impressive performances in Portugal, especially in European competitions, have reignited interest from Real Madrid.

 

Known for his versatility, Carreras can operate both as a traditional left-back and as a wing-back in a three-man defense, a system preferred by Xabi Alonso, who will play a significant role in shaping Real Madrid’s squad for upcoming competitions like the Club World Cup. His arrival will likely affect current players Ferland Mendy and Feran Garcia, who may be pushed out of the team, while new signing Trent Alexander-Arnold could also challenge Lucas Vazquez for playing time on the right flank.

 

Real Madrid views Carreras as a promising talent who grew up in their famous youth system, "La Fábrica," but left prematurely. Now, they hope to make up for that early oversight by integrating him into their future plans and strengthening their defensive options as they look to reclaim domestic and European success.
