London's Chelsea have entered negotiations with Real Madrid over a potential move for the left-back.

Details: According to DiarioSport, Chelsea have already submitted an opening bid of €25 million for 23-year-old full-back Álvaro Carreras, but the Madrid side are not willing to part ways with the player for that amount.
