Optimism about his arrival, 'Halt' but now Florentino intends to speed it up

The Club World Cup is underway and Real Madrid is already in the round of 16. The white team will face Juventus in this round with the goal of continuing to advance in the competition. Xabi Alonso's side finished the group stage in first place after defeating Pachuca and Salzburg and drawing against Al-Hilal.

The progress in this competition is frankly good and positive. However, nobody is losing sight of the matter of signings, since Florentino Pérez believes that the summer is quite long. One name on the table is Álvaro Carreras, who, in fact, is at the tournament with Benfica.

As many of you already know, the goal at Valdebebas was to secure his services for this competition. Nevertheless, the Lisbon side was quite tough during negotiations and the deal that seemed to be closed never materialized.

Even so, the full-back remains among the targets of the sporting management. After all, he would strengthen the left flank, although it is true that Fran García is showing a good level. According to Jorge Picón, a journalist who worked at Relevo, there is optimism at the white house regarding this operation. 

Thus, authorized voices at Valdebebas insist that it is very likely that this market move will end up happening. Real Madrid is willing to pay his release clause, which is around €50 million. The amount may be somewhat high, but it is necessary. 

All this because it should not be forgotten that Ferland Mendy remains injured and is expected not to return until October. In addition, the medical services are very pessimistic regarding the Frenchman's physical condition. 

He wants to return

It is worth noting that Álvaro Carreras is a youth academy product, meaning he came through La Fábrica. He stayed until the cadet category and now he is close to returning to the club to take a spot in the first team. This is a dream come true for him and he wants, as could not be otherwise, to play at Bernabéu.
