Real Madrid have granted manager Xabi Alonso’s request for further reinforcements in the ongoing summer transfer window, according to Marca.
While Los Blancos are on the verge of completing a deal for Álvaro Carreras, reports suggest the 22-year-old left-back won’t be the club’s final signing of the summer. Alonso has reportedly asked the board for more additions to strengthen the squad, and the club has given its approval.
This development follows Real Madrid’s disappointing exit from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain — a result that has prompted a push for squad improvements.

Real Madrid are expected to officially announce Carreras’ signing after the conclusion of the tournament on Sunday. The Spanish giants are close to finalizing an agreement with Benfica for the defender.
Carreras originally joined Real Madrid’s youth setup at the age of 14 from Deportivo La Coruña, but left in 2020 to sign with Manchester United. Despite spending several years at Old Trafford, he never made a senior appearance for the Premier League side.
With Alonso now set to reshape his squad, more arrivals at the Santiago Bernabéu could be on the horizon.
