Italy international arrives in Madrid as a six-time winner with Bayern
Real Madrid have announced the surprise signing of Italy international midfielder Arianna Caruso from Bayern Munich.
The 26-year-old has signed a contract with Real Madrid until June 2030, bringing one of European women’s football’s most experienced midfielders to Spain.
Caruso arrives after a highly successful spell in Germany, where she spent the last season and a half with Bayern Munich.
And she leaves the Bundesliga giants with an impressive collection of silverware.
Six Trophies in 18 Months
During her time with Bayern Munich, Caruso helped the club win:
🏆 2 Bundesliga titles
🏆 2 DFB-Pokal titles
🏆 2 German Super Cups
That’s six major trophies in just 18 months.
For Real Madrid, the signing is therefore about much more than adding another midfielder.
They are bringing in a player who already knows what it takes to compete for and win major trophies.
A New Challenge in Spain
Caruso now moves from one European powerhouse to another.
The Italy international will join Real Madrid’s ambitions in Liga F, while also bringing her European experience to the club’s continental campaign.
At 26, Caruso is entering the prime years of her career, and Real Madrid will hope her winning experience can help the club take another step towards challenging for major honours.
“I Have a Winning Mentality”
Caruso has already made it clear what she wants from her new chapter.
Speaking after completing the move, she highlighted her mentality and ambition.
“I have a winning mentality. I hope we can win many titles.”
That mentality appears to be at the heart of her approach to football.
Caruso also promised to give everything for the Real Madrid shirt.
“I am a player who will always give 100%. I will give my best until the end.”
Those comments will certainly appeal to Real Madrid supporters.
A Midfielder With a Point to Prove
Moving from Bayern Munich to Real Madrid represents another major challenge in Caruso’s career.
She arrives with significant experience, international pedigree and a proven ability to win trophies.
The next challenge will be helping Real Madrid turn that experience into success in Spain and Europe.
Her arrival could also provide valuable leadership to a squad continuing to develop its identity at the highest level of women’s football.

Her comments also suggest she is arriving with clear ambitions rather than simply looking for a new challenge.
Transfer Tribune Verdict
This looks like a statement signing from Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will now hope that Caruso’s experience and winning mentality can help them add more silverware to their own trophy cabinet.
