Chelsea are eyeing Carreras as a potential replacement for Cucurella

Chelsea are looking for options to strengthen the left-back position after . As reported by AS, the Londoners included Alvaro Carreras in the list of potential candidates and are studying the possibility of his transfer. The club are also trying to find out if the 23-year-old Spaniard is ready to leave Madrid just a year after joining from Benfica. Real Madrid do not consider Carreras an untouchable footballer, so his future as part of the royal club remains uncertain. At the same time, the defender himself does not yet have a clear understanding of his prospects in Madrid. In the past, Jose Mourinho would have liked to see Carreras compete with Cucurella on the defensive flank, but that has now changed following the Englishman's move to Real Madrid. Another option for this position remains Fran Garcia. Carreras already has the experience of performing in England, because he was previously in the Manchester United system.
