Carreras, a Rojiblanco target for left-back
Atlético de Madrid is looking to reinforce their left-back position in the upcoming transfer market, and Álvaro Carreras has emerged as a priority option.
The young Spaniard, 22 years old, has impressed both in the Champions League and in the Portuguese league, accumulating over 4,000 minutes in 47 matches, with a notable contribution of goals and assists.
His performance has not gone unnoticed by the big clubs, and Benfica coach Bruno Lage has confirmed the interest from both Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid. Lage highlighted Carreras’ importance to the Lisbon team and his satisfaction working with him.
Carreras’ performance in the match against Atlético de Madrid in Lisbon was particularly striking, despite the Colchoneros’ defeat. With only Javi Galán confirmed as left-back for next season, Atlético sees Carreras as an ideal solution to provide stability in that position, after having tried various alternatives without the expected success.
