Real Madrid have secured the signing of a new Left-back after they agree a deal to sign Álvaro Carreras from Benfica. The summer transfer window has been fantastic so far for Xabi Alonso as he got a new defender – Dean Huijsen, new midfielder – Mastantuono, and new right-back – Trent Alexander-Arnold. Addition of this new left-back will be crucial for their season ahead as they used to play Camavinga and few centre-backs in that particular position due to lack of options.

Real Madrid have completed the signing of promising Spanish left-back Álvaro Carreras from Benfica, adding crucial depth to a position that has long troubled the club. The 21-year-old joins Los Blancos after an impressive spell in Portugal and is expected to play a key role in the upcoming season.

This summer has been nothing short of spectacular for new manager Xabi Alonso. The former midfield maestro has overseen a strong transfer window, securing the likes of Dean Huijsen to strengthen the defence, Argentine wonderkid Franco Mastantuono to energize the midfield, and England international Trent Alexander-Arnold to reinforce the right flank.

However, it is the acquisition of Carreras that might be one of the most significant moves of the summer. Real Madrid have struggled with a lack of natural left-backs in recent years, often fielding makeshift options such as Eduardo Camavinga or using central defenders out wide. The arrival of Carreras offers a much-needed specialist solution and brings balance to the backline.
