Real Madrid Confidencial Ramón de Mon confirms it, Real Madrid and Álvaro Carreras already have an agreement.
Real Madrid has an agreement with Álvaro Carreras, but an agreement with Benfica is still needed, as they demand the 50M clause
Real Madrid has already taken a key step to finalize one of its summer signings. According to Ramón Álvarez de Mon, the club has a total agreement with Álvaro Carreras.
The young left-back is closer than ever to Santiago Bernabéu. Only one detail remains: the agreement with Benfica, the club that holds his rights.
Contract closed with the player
Álvaro Carreras has already said yes to Real Madrid. The contract terms are agreed upon.
The player will sign a long-term contract and will earn around 9 million euros gross per season.
A salary in line with his projection, but also showing the club's strong commitment to his signing.
Xabi Alonso sees him as a useful piece to strengthen the left-back position. A young profile, with experience, and room for growth.
Agreement with Benfica pending
The problem now is Benfica. The Portuguese club doesn't want to let the player go so easily.
Carreras's clause is set at 50 million euros. A figure that Real Madrid considers excessive.
Therefore, negotiations remain open. The goal is to lower that amount and close the deal for a more reasonable price.
From Madrid's camp, they trust the agreement will be reached soon. The player has already made it clear that he wants to wear white.
The goal: sign him before the World Cup
Real Madrid is in a hurry. They do not want the operation to drag on until July.
The idea is to finalize the signing before the Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States.
Xabi Alonso wants to have Carreras for that event. Although not as a starter, he is an option to provide rotations in defense.
Additionally, Ferland Mendy's injury forces the club to move quickly in the market.
A very advanced signing
The agreement with Álvaro Carreras is complete. Only Benfica's approval is missing.
Ramón Álvarez de Mon has confirmed it: Madrid already has his "yes." Now it's time to close the final step.
Everything points to Álvaro Carreras becoming a new Real Madrid player in a matter of days.
