Didac Aguirre Radical twist in Álvaro Carreras's signing for Real Madrid: 'Florentino...'
The surprising revelation that has been made about the status of Álvaro Carreras's signing by Real Madrid
After signing Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid's next major target is Álvaro Carreras. Having an excellent season with Benfica, Real Madrid sees Carreras as the ideal reinforcement for the left-back position. With Mendy and Fran García delivering rather questionable performances, Carreras is the solution for the club.
However, Ramón Álvarez de Mon, a contributor to Defensa Central's YouTube channel, has revealed the status of this signing. "Florentino has to give the OK to that operation...it was assumed it would cost €50 million." With these words, Ramón de Mon made it clear that Carreras's signing hasn't been finalized yet.
"There's still no agreement between Real Madrid and Benfica. In the player's circle, there's still optimism that it'll happen," added Ramón de Mon to his words on X. Contrary to what was thought a few days ago, the reality is that Carreras's signing is still far off.
The change in the Álvaro Carreras operation
At 22 years old, Álvaro Carreras managed to have a breakthrough season at Benfica. Playing his first campaign with the club, Carreras quickly earned a starting spot, accumulating 4,385 minutes of play. This amount of playing time clearly shows the importance Carreras had in a Benfica that had a decent campaign.
Despite all the information indicating that his signing for Real Madrid was practically a done deal, this wasn't the reality. Ramón de Mon's words have clarified that Carreras's signing, while still on the radar, isn't close to being finalized.
With Florentino Pérez being the one who must approve this transfer, Real Madrid's president hasn't commented on the matter. Even so, having been a youth player at Real Madrid, the player trusts he can return to the club that developed him.
The last step for Real Madrid
Amid all the doubts surrounding the future of this signing, Real Madrid has the power to take the final step. Awaiting Florentino Pérez's decision, Carreras hasn't shown concern about a future that still points to Santiago Bernabéu.
