Goodbye to Miguel Gutiérrez: Real Madrid will pay €50M for an even better full-back

Miguel Gutiérrez rejects Atlético waiting for Madrid, but Florentino has other plans to strengthen

In recent days, Miguel Gutiérrez's name is on everyone's lips. The left-back shines with Girona and is attracting offers. However, what has surprised the most is his recent link with Atlético de Madrid.

According to various media, Miguel was the one who stopped any attempt by Atleti. He knows well that his desire is to return to Santiago Bernabéu. Florentino Pérez is looking to strengthen the defense, and he dreams of being the chosen one for that position.

Miguel Gutiérrez awaits Real Madrid's call

The youth player trusts that his good performances with Girona are enough. His price is not high: less than 10 million euros. It would be a perfect operation for Real Madrid, which would recover homegrown talent at a low cost.

But not everything is as simple as it seems in Bernabéu's offices. Florentino and his team are studying other options in the market. Miguel Gutiérrez fits the profile sought by Madrid, but he is not the only candidate: there is another one they like more.

Florentino Pérez has another left-back in mind

This is where the unexpected name comes in. Álvaro Carreras, currently with Benfica, is highly regarded by the white sports management. A former Real Madrid player, his growth in Portugal has been spectacular, earning praise throughout Europe.

The interest in Carreras is no coincidence, as he combines youth, speed, and international experience. His release clause is set at 50 million euros. Although it seems high, Florentino knows it is an investment that can multiply.

Real Madrid prepares a market coup

The priority is clear: to strengthen the left-back position with guarantees. Álvaro Carreras fits perfectly into the profile Madrid is looking for for the future. He would not only cover the position but also provide offensive depth and technical quality.

Meanwhile, Miguel Gutiérrez continues to work hard in Girona. However, the competition is fierce, and final decisions are made at the top. Florentino Pérez is not only thinking about covering immediate needs but also building for the coming years.

The summer market will decide Real Madrid's future

The coming months will be decisive in knowing what Real Madrid will do. Álvaro Carreras is currently the favorite on the signing list. The outlay is significant, but the player's projection convinces everyone in the entity.

Miguel Gutiérrez, meanwhile, will have to wait patiently. Although his desire to return is evident, it doesn't depend solely on him. The summer market is about to begin, and it promises strong emotions for all the white fans.
