Ramón von Mon reveals Alphonso Davies's role in Álvaro Carreras's signing

One of Real Madrid's major objectives several months ago was signing Alphonso Davies. The left-back, before his renewal, was in his last contract season with Bayern Munich. An opportunity that Real Madrid sought to seize but unfortunately failed to succeed after Davies's decision.

With the Canadian renewing, this event set a precedent that has been taken into account by Real Madrid. As revealed by Ramón Álvarez de Mon, a collaborator on Defensa Central's YouTube channel, Madrid plans to lower Álvaro Carreras's clause. This is because they don't want to make the same mistake they made with Davies.

Showing their willingness to spend money to sign Carreras, Real Madrid is only seeking a slightly reduced value. This situation shows that, despite the hard blow of missing out on Davies's services, the team learned from their mistake.

The plan with Carreras

After a season where neither Mendy nor Fran García managed to stand out, Real Madrid is ready to strengthen the left flank. Álvaro Carreras, only 22 years old, is the chosen player due to his impressive level at Benfica. Playing 4,175 minutes, Carreras managed to show his worth and how prepared he is to make the leap to a higher-level club.

Although Real Madrid is working hard on his signing, his 50 million euro clause has presented a problem. Despite Carreras being in his debut season with Benfica, Real Madrid has no intention of paying this amount.

As mentioned by Ramón de Mon, Real Madrid seeks to reduce Carreras's clause to finalize his signing. Aware that they could have signed Davies for a very low amount in the past, Real Madrid seeks to rectify this serious mistake.

The importance of Davies

Despite never having set foot in Valdebebas, Alphonso Davies is being key for the signing of Álvaro Carreras. Showing Real Madrid that sometimes it's better to act immediately, the club is prepared to do just that with Carreras's signing.
