Apparently, Alvaro Arbeloa gave Jose Mourinho bad reports about Real Madrid left-back Alvaro Carreras.
While Real Madrid leaves behind the terrible 2025/2026 season, changes are coming for the white team, the main one being the arrival of new coach Jose Mourinho.
Although the Portuguese and Spanish clubs already have a history, his arrival is being eagerly awaited as if it were the first time.
After interim coach Alvaro Arbeloa failed to meet the expectations placed on him, he was officially informed at the end of the season that he was leaving his post.
Despite this, there are no hard feelings between Arbeloa and the older one, as both have maintained a very good, affectionate relationship since Mourinho was Arbeloa's coach.
And thanks to this closeness, it is expected that the Spaniard told him about the players, both those who are playing with good rhythm and those who are not performing as expected, and apparently, this happened with a Real Madrid left back.
According to journalist Miguel 'Latigo' Serrano on his YouTube channel, as reported by Defensa Central, Jose Mourinho has asked Real Madrid for a new left-back because he has received bad reports from Arbeloa about Alvaro Carreras.
Carreras arrived thanks to Xabi Alonso, the club's former coach, and although his on-field performances worked for some time, the left-back ended up relegated from the starting lineup, not only because of his performance but also because of his attitude in the locker room.
Apparently, he fought with Antonio Rudiger, so he was labeled a 'problem' by former coach Arbeloa, who passed that on to Mourinho.
To revitalize the squad and get the star-studded team back on track, the possibility of signing another left back remains valid.
Jose Mourinho has asked Real Madrid for a left back because he has very bad reports from Arbeloa about Alvaro Carreras. He is not convinced by the left backs of Real Madrid.
In addition to the left back, another player that Mourinho supposedly does not count on is central defender Raul Asencio. However, a departure for both players is unlikely, especially since Carreras has just arrived at Real Madrid.
Mourinho does not count on Asencio or Alvaro Carreras. The Canarian wants to stay or for the club to find him a team that will pay him the salary he has right now.
With a valid contract until June 30, 2031, his departure does not seem to be something they can accommodate for the Portuguese coach, so they will either have to sign a left-back or a left-footed center-back who plays as a full-back.
Recently, information has been circulating in the media that Mourinho wants Josko Gvardiol, a central defender at Manchester City who is so versatile that he can also play as a left-back.
Gvardiol could be the piece Real Madrid needs, and despite being highly valued by City and already having a renewal offer, the player is aware of the Spanish club's interest. According to rumors, he is still thinking things over.
