Álvaro Carreras reveals the real reason he chose to sign for Real Madrid: “I’ve always wanted to play with him.”

Real Madrid continues to strengthen its squad with young talent, and one of the names that has been making the most headlines in recent days is Álvaro Carreras. The young Spanish full-back, who joined from Manchester United, has been officially presented as a new player for the club, and during his first statements as a Real Madrid player, he left everyone speechless with an unexpected revelation.

Carreras, just 21 years old, didn’t hide his excitement at fulfilling one of his greatest dreams: wearing the white shirt. However, what caught the most attention wasn’t his usual enthusiasm, but the personal and emotional reason that led him to accept Real Madrid’s offer.

“The truth is there were several offers on the table, but when I heard Real Madrid was interested, I didn’t hesitate for a second. I’ve always wanted to play with him; he’s been my idol since I was little, and being able to share a dressing room with someone like that is a dream come true,” Carreras told the media.

Although he initially declined to reveal the name of the player who motivated him to make this decision, he finally dropped the bombshell: his idol is none other than Dani Carvajal. The veteran Real Madrid right-back has not only been a key figure in the club’s recent successes, but has also been an inspiration to a whole generation of young defenders, including Carreras himself.

“I grew up watching him play. His dedication, his character, his way of interpreting the game… For me, Carvajal is the best full-back in the world. Sharing training sessions and matches with him is something I still find hard to believe,” added the former Manchester United player.

Club officials emphasize that Carreras arrives not only as a promising player, but as a player with significant room for growth and the potential to become a key player for Real Madrid’s future. His versatility in playing on both wings and his attacking ability make him a very valuable option for Carlo Ancelotti.

Several teammates have already praised his attitude during the first training sessions. “He’s hungry, he’s energetic, and above all, he wants to learn,” said team captain Nacho Fernández. “You can tell he’s eager to contribute and earn a spot.”

Carreras’ arrival also fits into Real Madrid’s long-term plan to rejuvenate its squad and secure a solid foundation for the next decade. With names like Jude Bellingham, Arda Güler, Endrick, and now Álvaro Carreras, the club seems to have a clear idea of where it’s headed.

For his part, Carreras is willing to work hard and learn from the best. “I know it won’t be easy to earn playing time on a team like this, but I’m here to give it my all. Every day is an opportunity to grow, and I’m surrounded by the best, so I just have to take advantage of it.”

The young Spaniard also wanted to send a message to the Real Madrid fans: “Thank you for the welcome. I promise to give my all in every training session and every match. This badge represents history, pride, and passion, and I’m here to honor it.”

With this attitude and his clear desire to learn alongside his idol, Álvaro Carreras is starting his adventure at the Santiago Bernabéu on the right foot. Only time will tell if he’ll make his mark at one of the biggest clubs in the world, but for now, he’s already won over fans with his sincerity and passion.
