They reveal Madrid's tactic to sign Carreras, he could come for half the price

The Merengue side hasn't set aside the operation to secure the services of Álvaro Carreras with Benfica. This player, even though he had been quite affected by Fran García's performance, really hasn't been forgotten. In addition, things are turning very much in favor of the White side, since offers for the Spaniard have dropped by 50%.

The teams that want to secure this player's services have reportedly gone from offering between €60 million and €30 million (from about €60 million to €30 million). This could be quite beneficial for Real Madrid, which could invest much less than desired in this player.

With a little more investment, they could even get him for about €35 million and save a significant amount. This, in addition to what they could get from a sale, as in Mendy's case, who is also on his way out.

A cheaper Carreras

Fortunately for Real Madrid, the Portuguese team had a rather deplorable performance in this Club World Cup. With that, the interest of several other clubs in securing this player's services has dropped considerably.

Now things seem to be moving in a much more favorable direction for Real Madrid to end up securing this player's services. In addition, if they manage to free up the French full-back's spot, they could bring together both Fran and this footballer on the same flank.

The most important thing now will be to negotiate with the Portuguese club, which seems to be very hurt by this news. However, they won't give up their position at all and will try to get as much money as possible.

Florentino will work his magic

As always, the Merengue president will do whatever it takes to secure the services of this star for the White side. This way, they can make sure to have a footballer with a great future and present in a crucial position.

In addition, that also benefits Fran a bit, who, all things considered, seems like he'll stay in the squad for next season.
