Benfica thanks Madrid, the gesture that honors them in Carreras's signing

Álvaro Carreras, 22-year-old left-back, is very close to becoming a new Real Madrid player. Several journalists, including Ramón Álvarez de Mon, confirm this, stating that the white club and SL Benfica have already reached a preliminary agreement for his transfer.

Real Madrid will pay €50 million, an amount that corresponds to the player's release clause (50 million), who once played in Madrid's youth academy. At this moment, both clubs only need to define the payment schedule. It should be noted that SL Benfica is listed on the stock exchange, so they will be required to make the operation public once it is completely finalized.

The white club already has everything agreed with Álvaro Carreras, and only the final details of the understanding with Benfica remain before the signing becomes official. Once the deal is sealed, the left-back will be ready to join the team and play in the Club World Cup wearing the white jersey.

Real Madrid's gesture that was appreciated at Benfica

The negotiation between Real Madrid and SL Benfica for Álvaro Carreras has proceeded smoothly. Initially, the Portuguese club tried to keep the footballer for the Club World Cup, but they understood that it wouldn't be possible.

However, SL Benfica, as Fabrizio Romano announced, praised a gesture from Real Madrid during the negotiations. The Portuguese club highly valued that the leaders of the Madrid club waited until after the Cup to initiate contact.

Week of moves for Real Madrid

During this week, Real Madrid plans to officially announce the addition of three new footballers to their squad. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Álvaro Carreras, and Nico Paz are the players who could join the white club soon.

In the case of the midfielder, the white club will exercise the buy-back option after his outstanding season at Como under Fàbregas's management. Real Madrid will pay the €8 million stipulated in the clause (8 million).

Additionally, the name of Angelo Stiller, midfielder for Stuttgart, also appears on Madrid's agenda. However, his possible arrival is considered more of a medium-term option, once the Club World Cup is over.
