Real Madrid signing Marc Cucurella from Chelsea created a glut of left backs in the Spanish capital, and a deficit in west London.
Naturally, transfer rumour writers are connecting the two. The name that comes up most often is Alvaro Carreras, the 23 year old who was close to establishing himself as a regular this season for Los Blancos.
Madrid could look to shift excess left back – and Chelsea are buying
CaughtOffside claim Chelsea are “interested” in the former Man U full back, who made 28 La Liga appearances for Madrid last season.
He looks really solid, with plenty of dynamic attacking attributes. However, if you’ve got questions about your defensive abilities when playing for Real Madrid… things probably won’t end well for you in the Premier League.
At the right price it would be an interesting move – but we’re looking to get stronger at the back, not weaker. A lot will come down to what Xabi Alonso’s plans are for the team shape and structure, with rumours of a back 3 still circulating.
In other news…
We now know how the Blues will start this season with the fixtures having been released – it’s good news for Xabi Alonso.
Marc Cucurella has completed a move to Real Madrid already this summer, after years as a key Chelsea starter. He explained what was behind that move in an interview today.
