Chelsea interested in Álvaro Carreras
Chelsea is ramping up its transfer market activity in pursuit of a new left-back. According to multiple sources, the London club is closely monitoring Álvaro Carreras, currently playing for Real Madrid.
The 23-year-old defender joined Real Madrid last summer from Benfica. This season, he has featured in 40 matches across all competitions, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. Chelsea is looking to strengthen its left-back position and regards Carreras as a serious option. With Marc Cucurella’s future uncertain, the London club’s management is exploring several alternatives to prepare for next season.
Under contract with Real Madrid until 2031, the player remains a difficult target to sign. However, the Spanish club is reportedly not entirely opposed to a sale should a significant offer come in. Other top European clubs are also monitoring his situation, which could make this a fiercely contested transfer saga in the upcoming window.
