The arrival of Marc Cucurella at Real Madrid has reportedly created uncertainty around the future of Álvaro Carreras, with Juventus now interested in signing the defender during the current transfer window.
Carreras only joined Real Madrid from Benfica a year ago, but the increased competition for places at left back could now place his long-term future at the club in doubt. Cucurella’s arrival has strengthened Madrid’s options in that position and may significantly reduce Carreras’ opportunities for regular first-team football next season.
Juventus are believed to be monitoring the situation closely as they continue searching for players capable of improving the quality and balance of their squad ahead of the new campaign.
Juventus Monitoring Defensive Options
-------------------------------------
According to [TuttoJuve](https://www.tuttojuve.com/esclusive-tj/carreras-mirino-juve-fascia-784233), Carreras is the latest defender added to Juventus’ list of transfer targets as the Bianconeri look to strengthen multiple areas of the squad this summer.
The Bianconeri believe the Spaniard could become an important addition to Luciano Spalletti’s team due to his technical quality, defensive awareness and ability to contribute going forward from wide areas.
Carreras may also be open to a move away from Madrid if opportunities become increasingly limited following Cucurella’s arrival. Competition for playing time is expected to be intense, and Juventus could offer him a clearer route towards regular appearances.
Financial Situation Could Influence Deal
----------------------------------------
Despite their interest, Juventus may still face difficulties completing a permanent transfer because of financial limitations and the need to balance spending during the current transfer window.
A loan arrangement could therefore become the most realistic option if negotiations advance, although the structure of any potential agreement remains unclear at this stage.
Juventus may also need to sell players from their current squad before making further additions in defence, particularly if they wish to fund a move for another high-profile player.
Carreras has established himself as one of Spain’s most promising defenders in recent seasons, and Juventus believe he possesses the qualities required to succeed in Serie A if a transfer can eventually be completed.
