Real Madrid fans are a happy bunch at the moment. They have a new coach, they are signing new players, and things are just looking good for them with regards to the future.
The club is also not finished in the transfer market, with multiple arrivals and departures still left to be finalised. There is a lot of time, though, and things will work out.
Xabi Alonso has been a brilliant addition already, with multiple signings wanted by him in the first place, which made Real Madrid push for them.
There is one more coming, and Fabrizio Romano's update will excite fans a lot.
A big Fabrizio Romano transfer update Real Madrid fans will love
Real Madrid have made official contact with Benfica to sign Alvaro Carreras, and there could be a here-we-go for the transfer very soon, according to Romano.
Real Madrid have been linked with their former academy player for a few years, and it has been refreshing to see a new face being linked with the club.
Now, it is very close to being finalised, with Real Madrid making official contact with Benfica to talk about the transfer fees, hoping to conclude the deal as soon as possible.
Real Madrid's current left-backs have not lived up to expectations. Ferland Mendy has been injured all the time, and Fran Garcia, although has been decent in some games, has not been able to stay at a high level consistently.
It will be good to see how the club is able to develop Carreras even further once he joins. He certainly loves going forward and can defend well.
However, there are a few things in his game that he needs to improve on, and Alonso would definitely be able to help with that a fair bit.
It remains to be seen when the deal is done, but it should not be too long now.
