Real Madrid Confidencial Pedrerol announces Carreras's presentation date, official imminently
The official statement will be made today, Monday, and tomorrow, Tuesday, July 15, the presentation will take place in Valdebebas
Álvaro Carreras is ready to wear white. Journalist Josep Pedrerol confirmed it in the early hours of Sunday to Monday on El Chiringuito de Jugones: the official presentation of the left-back will take place this Tuesday in Valdebebas. The countdown is over.
The signing will be announced in the coming hours with an official statement from Real Madrid. According to Pedrerol, the event will be held at the Valdebebas Sports City, as is customary for the club's new arrivals.
Carreras will pose for the first time in the white jersey alongside Florentino Pérez. Board members, representatives of Madridist fan clubs, and media outlets will also be present. After the protocol event, the player will speak to the press in his first appearance as a new Real Madrid player.
Everything got complicated at the Club World Cup
The signing hasn't been an easy path. Carreras had an agreement with the club since before the Club World Cup. Everything was settled, however, Benfica backed out at the last minute and decided to register him for the tournament, something that was not well received at Santiago Bernabéu.
Real Madrid didn't want to enter new negotiations and once eliminated from the World Cup, the club executed the €50 million clause (€50 million). No dialogue with Benfica, no turning back. The player will finally be presented.
This very Sunday, Carreras spent several hours in Madrid with his family. This gesture already suggested that the announcement was only a matter of time. The left-back was eager to close this deal and his dream was to play for Real Madrid.
Important reinforcement for Xabi Alonso
Xabi Alonso now has his new left-back. A major reinforcement for a squad aiming high this season. With Fran García leaving and Mendy in doubt, Carreras arrives to compete for the position from day one.
The Madridist fans are excited. Carreras is young, with potential and personality. Everything indicates that this Tuesday, Valdebebas will experience another special day, a new signing, a new era, and a player who arrives in the capital eager to succeed.
It's official: Carreras belongs to Real Madrid. Only the statement is missing. According to Pedrerol, that will come today.
