Manchester United youth product won't be joining Liverpool – Club block deal

Real Madrid have no intention of selling left-back Álvaro Carreras despite Liverpool's reported interest; the 23-year-old is considered important to Mourinho's plans.

Liverpool have been linked with Real Madrid left-back Álvaro Carreras, a Manchester United academy graduate, but the Spanish club have ruled out his departure. Real Madrid do not expect to sanction Carreras' exit, with the 23-year-old considered an important part of José Mourinho's long-term squad plans. His contract runs until 2031.

Carreras' situation has changed significantly since the summer, when he was among players Madrid considered selling following Marc Cucurella's arrival. However, Mourinho has since integrated him into his plans alongside Cucurella, with the pair sharing minutes at left-back. Although Carreras has played just 340 minutes across eight appearances this season, Madrid view him as a reliable backup option and are content with the current arrangement.

Liverpool's interest has not progressed beyond speculation, with no formal offer or negotiations reported. Madrid's stance suggests the window for a potential move has closed, with the club unlikely to entertain departures in the near future.
