According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and Athletic, Real Madrid has reached an agreement to recruit defender Alvaro Carreras from Benfica. Earlier, Alvaro Carreras spent 4 years unable to assert himself at MU.
The two parties have negotiated over the past time, but the biggest problem lies at the contract release fee of up to 50 million euros that Benfica is determined not to reduce the price for Real Madrid. The “White Vulture” initially refused to pay the entire amount but eventually the two parties agreed on the installment plan at the transfer of Alvaro Carreras. According to Athletic, the amount of 50 million euros will be paid by Real in 3 times.
Notably, the Spanish Royal team will deposit left -back Rafael Obrador of the Castilla youth team to Benfica (for 5 million euros) as part of the exchange agreement. This is considered a smart move to reduce financial pressure, and pave the way to welcome Carreras back to the Bernabeu.
Thus, Alvaro Carreras is Real Madrid's fourth rookie this summer after the cases of Dean Hujsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Franco Mastastuono. Alvaro Carreras always wants to return to the Bernabeu to prove his ability. Few people know, Carreras grew up from Real Madrid's training furnace, but left the team by 2020 to join MU. After 4 years of unable to squeeze on the first team at Old Trafford, he moved to Benfica in January 2024 and became one of the best left -backs today.
Now, Carreras will come to Madrid to check the health, complete the terms and launch the Royal team. The arrival of Carreras is considered to help Real refresh the left wing next season and the future. Now, Real will listen to the suspicion for Ferland Mendy. The Fran Garcia can be kept to be a reserve for Carreras.
