JAKARTA - Real Madrid have recruited left-back Benfica, Alvaro Carreras, who was announced on Monday, July 14, 2025, local time.
The 22-year-old defender spent three years at Real Madrid's academy before moving to Manchester United in 2020.
The defender is Los Blancos' latest signing on the defense -- following the arrival of centre-back Dean Huijsen and right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold -- in an effort to build a new defense line ahead of the 2025/2026 season.

Real Madrid ended the 2024/2025 season without a prestigious trophy for the first time since 2021, after finishing runner-up under Barcelona in La Liga, losing in the Copa del Rey final, being knocked out in the Champions League quarter-finals, and falling in the semifinals of the 2025 Club World Cup.
Carreras is a candidate for Real Madrid's choice to strengthen left-back position, where Ferland Mendy, who is often injured, or Fran Garcia, has not been able to perform convincingly last season.
He was once a partner of other Real Madrid youth players, such as Raul Asencio, when he was still at the club's academy, before deciding to join Manchester United.
After four years at Manchester, including being loaned to Preston North End and Granada, he joined Benfica on an initial loan and permanent option.
The player of the Spanish U-21 National Team performed brilliantly in the 2024/2025 season, with 32 appearances in Primeira, the Portuguese League, and played 10 times in the Champions League.
