Another familiar figure returned to the Bernabeu! 22-year-old Spanish left-back Alvaro Carreras has officially returned to Real Madrid after playing for some time in Benfica. Looking back on his youthful years between 2017 and 2020, although he showed outstanding potential in Real Madrid's youth training camp at that time, he failed to get his first team debut. Now, maybe he finally ushered in the moment of his dream.

Carreras signed a six-year contract with the club until 2031. To complete the deal, Real Madrid will pay a transfer fee of 50 million euros in installments. This move not only highlights the club's high trust in the young defender who has performed well in Portugal, but also implies a complex twist.

According to the World Sports, according to the current registration rules for La Liga, Carreras may become the last player to register this season. The maximum number of registered spots for La Liga first team is set to 25 players, and Real Madrid has actively introduced many new players such as Arnold, Heisen, and Mastantono during the summer transfer period, which has left the team's lineup with almost no extra space available. The

club is currently considering registering young players Raul Asensio and Gonzalo Garcia, so that the registration quota will be fully occupied. This means that if Real Madrid wants to bring in other players, they must first make room in the team, which may mean that some current players need to be sold or rented out.

So, who will be able to leave? The report pointed out that several star players have been included in the shortlist for leaving the team, such as Rodrigo, Ferran Mendy, Celeros, and even Endric, who has attracted much attention recently. The future of the young player Gonzalo Garcia, who shines in the club's World Cup, is also full of uncertainty. The new head coach Alonso is expected to discuss a number of matters regarding the situation at an upcoming important meeting of the board of directors.

Overall, Carreras' return is of far-reaching significance, especially after he gradually grew up and improved his technical capabilities in Lisbon. However, from the behind-the-scenes situation, this may send a signal: if no one leaves the team, Real Madrid's summer transfer signing work may be coming to an end.
