Following the signing of Cucurella, Real Madrid has four left-backs and is looking to sell two of them. Spanish left-back Fran García was one of the players initially considered for a transfer, which has resulted in interest from LaLiga teams such as Betis. According to journalist Simon Phillips in the British press, Chelsea has reportedly become interested in another Real Madrid left-back, Álvaro Carreras, which could lead the club to sell Carreras and keep García.
