Atlético de Madrid was one of the most active teams during the past summer in the transfer market. The red-and-white club knew that a restructuring of the team was necessary, so they let go of many players. As a result, new faces arrived that are contributing significantly to the great sporting moment the team is experiencing.
However, Simeone wants to continue improving the team, and the sports management knows which positions need reinforcement. One of them is the left-back position, which despite Javi Galán's good performance, the Argentine coach desires competition for the Spaniard. It seems that Reinildo will leave in the summer, as he doesn't get playing time, so a replacement for the Mozambican will need to be found.
The Player Impressing at Atlético
One of the players attracting the most attention in this edition of the Champions League is Álvaro Carreras, the young defender from Benfica. The 21-year-old Spaniard is performing at a high level, delivering stellar performances against Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona. This hasn't gone unnoticed by the red-and-white club, which hasn'ted his name on their agenda.
In his latest discussion on Twitch, the famous journalist Rubén Uría addressed the topic of the young Benfica defender. Rubén commented the following: "At Atlético de Madrid, they are convinced that Álvaro Carreras is going to be a phenomenon. The red-and-white club is keeping track of him, and Atleti will be in the race for the player in the summer."
Wanted by Real Madrid
Carreras was a youth player at Real Madrid for two seasons and left a great impression at the white club. Florentino Pérez has been searching for a left-back for some time, and after Alphonso Davies's refusal, they must look for new options. Among them is the young Spanish player, whose name is making waves worldwide.
Another club interested in him is Manchester United, which needs signings to improve the team's performance. This summer, there will be a huge bidding war for Álvaro Carreras, in which Atlético de Madrid will participate, but securing his signing will be very challenging.
