Juventus Considering Álvaro Carreras from Real Madrid

August 17, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

Juventus has expressed interest in Real Madrid's left-back, Álvaro Carreras. While the signing of Marc Cucurella might create more competition for Carreras at Real Madrid, the operation is still complicated. Juventus has reportedly asked Real Madrid about the player's situation and the potential terms of a transfer.

The acquisition of Marc Cucurella for approximately 55 million euros has altered the hierarchy at Real Madrid. Cucurella is expected to play a significant role on the left flank, potentially reducing playing time for Carreras. The team also has Ferland Mendy and Fran García in the left-back position, though their futures are not entirely clear. With several options available, Real Madrid might consider letting some players leave to balance the squad.

Despite the increased competition, Carreras appears determined to prove himself, having earned playing time in early friendly matches and even providing an assist to Endrick in a game against Fiorentina. However, Juventus must contend with Real Madrid's significant investment in the player. Real Madrid purchased Carreras from Benfica in the summer of 2025 for 50 million euros and signed him to a contract until June 30, 2031. These figures suggest that a sale at a favorable price is unlikely, as Real Madrid has no pressing need to sell and does not wish to devalue a player they acquired recently. A permanent transfer would likely require a substantial investment from Juventus.

Juventus may explore alternative arrangements, such as a loan deal with an option or obligation to buy. This would allow Juventus to defer some of the cost, but it would still need to meet Real Madrid's financial expectations.
