Confirmed, Álvaro Carreras has requested his transfer from Bayern Munich to Real Madrid for €0

Álvaro Carreras is the best signing Real Madrid has made in a long time. For 50 million, Los Blancos have secured the services of a very powerful wing-back in attack and extremely committed in defense. His performance has been so good that he has become untouchable for Xabi Alonso.

Precisely because of this, Álvaro Carreras remains one of the most beloved by Real Madrid's fans. His dedication, commitment, and desire to please Bernabéu are being rewarded with public recognition. That's even though on many occasions he has to carry extra weight by finding himself completely alone on the left side of the backline.

Álvaro Carreras needs help

Despite how well Álvaro Carreras is playing, it wouldn't be strange if, as the matches go by, the whistles start to appear. Not because of his individual performance, but because in most cases he is far too alone. In front of him is Vinícius Júnior, who doesn't offer him any defensive help during the 90 minutes, and next to him is Huijsen, whose performance has plummeted.

In this scenario, Florentino Pérez has set to work to find a solution for Álvaro Carreras. The president blindly trusts Vinícius, so the change he intends to make directly affects Huijsen. Specifically, Florentino's idea is to bring in a new center-back in the summer, and Álvaro has already pointed out which teammate he would like to have.

Álvaro Carreras has requested his signing, from Bayern to Madrid for 0 euros

Specifically, Álvaro Carreras would be delighted if Dayot Upamecano doesn't renew with Bayern Munich and ends up joining Real Madrid for zero euros. The French center-back's contract ends this summer and, barring an unexpected turn, he will leave Germany for free. Not only that, as it is said that he already has a verbal agreement with Florentino Pérez to land at Bernabéu.

Dayot Upamecano's departure at zero cost is a golden opportunity that Real Madrid can't afford to miss. Strengthening the defense is one of Xabi Alonso's priorities for next season, and Upamecano is the ideal profile. If his signing is finalized, Álvaro Carreras will have a new partner in the backline.

The combination of Álvaro Carreras plus Dayot Upamecano would shore up Real Madrid's defensive core and send a very clear message to the locker room. Huijsen, for example, would be the main one affected; while Vinícius Júnior would also be put on alert. If the Brazilian continues as he has so far, Florentino Pérez could opt for his departure to create a much more balanced team.
