ByKehinde-Hassan Afolabi

In a sudden tactical U-turn, Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has decided to retain left-back Álvaro Carreras to compete with new signing Marc Cucurella, effectively sanctioning the departure of Fran García.

Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has made a definitive decision regarding his defensive options for the upcoming season, declaring young left-back Álvaro Carreras “untransferable.”

The 23-year-old Spaniard, who faced an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabéu following the €60 million arrival of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, will officially remain with the European giants as a secondary option.

The unexpected tactical resolution marks an immediate about-face for Mourinho, who had initially considered cashing in on Carreras amid intense interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.

Instead, the Portuguese tactician views Carreras and Cucurella as complementary assets to solidify the back line. Consequently, fellow fullback Fran García has been deemed surplus to requirements and is now expected to leave the club.
