Arsenal Step Up Pursuit of Real Madrid Left-Back Álvaro Carreras

Reports say Arteta’s promise of regular minutes has made the move attractive to the 23-year-old.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets, which published their reports Wednesday, said Arsenal have made Carreras a priority target for the summer window.
  • CaughtOffSide and Football365 report the player is open to the switch after Arteta outlined a clear role with steady Premier League minutes.
  • Carreras has featured regularly for Real Madrid this season and is under a long-term deal reported to run to 2031, which would drive a high fee.
  • Real Madrid are described as viewing him as their long-term left-back, so a sale so soon after a ~€50m move in 2025 would likely require a significant offer, and no bid has been reported.
  • Manchester United, Juventus and Napoli are also monitoring him, while Arsenal already have left-back cover, pointing to a strategic depth move rather than an urgent need.
