According to a Spanish source, Real Madrid is eager to trade Alvaro Carreras to Arsenal during the summer transfer window. However, TEAMtalk has clarified why Gunners manager Mikel Arteta and sports director Andrea Berta shouldn’t get too enthusiastic just yet.
CaughtOffside said on April 29 that Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, “wants” to recruit Carreras from Madrid this summer. The former Manchester United prospect is reportedly open to joining Arsenal, who are leading the Premier League standings and have advanced to the Champions League final this season.
“Arteta’s willingness to give Carreras a meaningful role within the squad has made the move increasingly appealing from the player’s perspective,” CaughtOffSide continued. Sport has now supported CaughtOffside’s assertion on Carreras’ future.
The 23-year-old left-back, who paid €50 million to join Madrid from Benfica in the summer of 2025, has drawn interest from Arsenal, according to the Spanish newspaper. According to the report, Real Madrid wouldn’t rule out a potential deal.

Carreras has declared his commitment to Madrid in public. The Spaniard has made a public statement after getting into a fight with teammate Antonio Rudiger on the training pitch. “My commitment to this club and to the coaches I’ve had has been unwavering since day one, and it will continue to be so,” the left-back said on his personal Instagram account.
In recent weeks, Arsenal has been keeping a close eye on his development and is reportedly really interested in signing him. Even if he is happy at Real Madrid, there is still a chance that he may relocate at the end of the current campaign.
The defender is now more receptive to the prospect of joining Arsenal, according to Football365. As the Gunners continue to look at possible roster additions, this trend is positive.
Carreras must now make a crucial decision about his next move as the summer transfer window draws near. Meanwhile, Arsenal will keep working to bolster the team and raise standards all around.
