Chelsea Eyes Carreras Amid Alonso's Interest

Real Madrid is looking to lighten the number of players in its current roster to pave the way for new transfers. Alvaro Carreras is one of the names that could leave, despite not being among the top candidates for departure.

According to "Mundo Deportivo," the 23-year-old Spanish full-back is facing strong competition following the arrival of Marc Cucurella, who has become the first-choice option at left-back.

Carreras joined Real Madrid a year ago from Benfica for €50 million, and is contracted with the royal club until June 2031.

The player had performed well under Xabi Alonso's management, but lost his place after Álvaro Arbeloa took charge of the team, finishing the season as a substitute for Fran García.

Xabi Alonso, the current Chelsea manager, is keeping a close eye on Carreras's situation and may look to bring him to the English side to provide him with more opportunities to play.

Real Madrid's management believes that Carriera's transfer to Chelsea could be a suitable option for all parties, especially with the player's need for regular playing time. The situation is expected to become clearer in the coming weeks.
