Report: Real Madrid still has faith in Alvaro Carreras after tough season

According to Defensa Central, the Spanish giants consider Carreras a strategic investment rather than a short-term fix.

The club’s stance is firm regardless of who takes charge as manager next season, underlining a long-term vision for the left-back position.

Carreras, who arrived in the previous summer transfer window for a significant fee, has logged 3,222 minutes in his first season, reflecting consistent selection and trust from within the squad.

He made an immediate impression early in the campaign, quickly establishing himself as a key option.

However, his momentum was disrupted as the season progressed, with a combination of issues affecting his form.

His debut year has ultimately been characterised by a mix of promise and inconsistency, aligning with internal assessments that highlight both his strong attributes and areas needing refinement.

Despite attracting interest from Premier League clubs, Madrid’s confidence in the defender remains unwavering. The club view him as still being in a developmental phase and expect noticeable improvement in his second season.
