Real Madrid tells Benfica: it gives up and that's the end of the Carreras signing

The white team has already done the work and informs Benfica that everything is settled

The Merengue side has practically finalized the signing of Álvaro Carreras for Real Madrid for next season. However, this deal became much more complicated than desired, and now they will only be able to close it with an agreement between both clubs.  According to Defensa Central, the Whites will allow Rafael Obrador to leave, who is already signing his contract with the Portuguese side.

This way, although the footballer's release clause remains in effect, it won't be paid in a single installment as such. In addition, for this agreement to move forward, the club has waived the footballer's training rights.

Obviously, this is great news for Madridists who demanded the addition of this footballer. However, in the end, all of this became more complicated than expected, and they had to include someone else in the deal.

Rafael leaves for Benfica

While this is an exchange that, of course, greatly benefits the first team, it wasn't what the Merengue winger desired. Benfica became completely unwilling to let this player leave before the Club World Cup, despite his performance in that tournament being somewhat disappointing.

Now it seems that everything is absolutely finalized, and only the official statement from the Whites is missing for his addition. After the 4-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, this player is expected to be one of the solutions on the wing.

Alonso's system could bring great benefits to a footballer who has been key for his team in the last season. Moreover, looking only at this last season, he was crucial in trying to fight for a victory against Fútbol Club Barcelona, where he stopped Lamine Yamal.

Everything to improve

From now on, everything is on the path to improvement for Real Madrid, which has significant room to do so. In addition, with Alonso at the helm, they are expected to get the most out of this player, who shows great promise. Of course, there won't be any kind of pressure for what is a new signing and in a delicate position.
