Didac Aguirre Real Madrid can sign Álvaro Carreras earlier than expected
The unexpected opportunity that has arisen for Real Madrid to finalize the signing of Álvaro Carreras
The left back position was one of the most inconsistent for Real Madrid during the season. With Ferland Mendy returning to constant injuries, Fran García failed to establish himself as the left back Real Madrid needed. This is why, for this summer transfer window, Real Madrid became strongly interested in signing Álvaro Carreras.
Shining in his debut season with Benfica, Carreras is the reinforcement Real Madrid so desperately needs. Although his transfer was expected to be finalized a few weeks ago, Benfica ended up preventing it. Presenting countless problems with this deal, Carreras will end up playing in the Club World Cup with the Portuguese squad.
This is a situation Real Madrid has the opportunity to reverse thanks to FIFA's rules for the Club World Cup. Allowing three changes to the squad list for the second phase of the tournament, Madrid could sign Carreras on July 1.
Real Madrid's great opportunity
At 22 years old, Carreras managed to show his worth throughout the season. Helping both in Benfica's defense and attack, Carreras is a very complete and talented left back. His match in the Champions League against Barcelona showed, among other things, his ability to stop Lamine Yamal without any trouble.
Having been a Real Madrid youth player from 2017 to 2020, Carreras had no doubts about returning to Valdebebas. Although Benfica managed to block his transfer to play in the Club World Cup, Real Madrid is preparing its ace up its sleeve.
With FIFA allowing the addition of players, Real Madrid will seek to sign Carreras before the round of 16. This move shows Real Madrid's cleverness, with the club being aware that Benfica can't refuse the payment of the release clause.
The imminent arrival of Álvaro Carreras
Although Real Madrid's plan has already been drawn up, it's essential for the team to finish first in its group. This is because group winners play the round of 16 on July 1, which is the only date when Real Madrid will be able to make this major move
