Ramón de Mon announces updates with Carreras, there could be a surprise this Saturday

Benfica will hold a key assembly on Saturday that could give the green light for Carreras's signing by Real Madrid

Álvaro Carreras's future remains hanging in the air. But it could be solved very soon. Ramón de Mon, a journalist specializing in Real Madrid, has provided an update on his situation.

According to what he revealed on his X account, the signing for the white club seemed finalized by midweek. Real Madrid considered that the agreement with Benfica was practically sealed.

The reason: the Merengue side had accepted the financial terms demanded by the Portuguese club.

It's not as finalized as it seemed

However, days are passing and the official announcement hasn't arrived. For Ramón de Mon, this indicates that the matter wasn't as finalized as previously thought.

"If it hasn't been announced yet, it's because either it wasn't so done or new things have come up," the journalist explained.

The player's entourage, however, remains optimistic. So does Real Madrid. Both believe that the deal will eventually be closed.

Watch out for this Saturday: there could be an announcement

This Saturday, June 8, Benfica will hold a key Assembly. The news that could unlock the signing might come then.

Carreras is one of Madrid's top priorities to strengthen the left back position. The sporting management has been working on his signing for weeks.

The player, who belongs to Benfica, is also willing to make the leap. He wants to return to Spain and views the white club's project favorably.

That's why Ramón de Mon insists that the agreement is very close. Although the final details have delayed the announcement.

At Madrid, confidence is absolute. The club believes that Carreras will be a white player this summer. Only the last aspects of the deal need to be finalized.

Meanwhile, the fans are waiting for news. Everything suggests that Saturday could be decisive.

With Benfica's Assembly approaching, the official confirmation could arrive. Or at least, a definitive update on the status of the negotiation.

Carreras, who has already given the "yes," is awaiting the outcome. Madrid is as well. Ramón de Mon, always well-informed, warns: there could be a surprise next weekend.
