Benfica Announces the Departure of Alvaro Carreras, Los Blancos Can Be Big Push

Gilabola.com – Real Madrid got a big push after Benfica announced the departure of his target player, Alvaro Carreras, in the transfer market this summer.

It’s no secret, Alvaro Carreras has become the target of Real Madrid lately. The Spanish giant soccer club is indeed determined to increase their squad in the left -back position, and the Benfica star appears as an ideal candidate.

The report in the beginning of this month claimed, Madrid will speed up the Carreras transfer operation, precisely after the Portugal Cup final which ended in Benfica’s defeat.

A number of reports also showed that Los Blancos had reached an agreement with Carreras, which was more than willing to do the next step in his career in the world of football, by returning to the Bernabeu.

Yes, Carreras has become a Real Madrid young team player in 2017 to 2020, before finally moving to Manchester United and defending the young English club team in 2020 to 2022.

Unfortunately, after becoming a MU senior team player, Carreras had never been played, even lent to three different clubs, including Benfica, in 2024, until finally in that year, his status was searched by the Portuguese club.

Benfica prepares to announce the departure of Carreras

Journalist Diario USEduardo Burgos, said the latest news related to Real Madrid’s efforts to get Carreras this summer. According to him, Benfica is now preparing to announce the departure of their back line stars.

All of them show, Madrid will activate the Carreras release clause – which is set at 50 million euros. They initially hoped Benfica would reduce the tag of the Spaniard, but it seemed that negotiations with Benfica were not too productive.

The 50 million euro is indeed luck, even for El Real. However, Xabi Alonso’s club is seriously wanting to add depth and quality in their defense. For this reason, Madrid is willing to meet the release clause of Carreras.

Real Madrid is also targeting several midfielders

The 22-year-old defender is expected to join Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen on the list of defender Real Madrid next season, although the Spanish club still has not confirmed his agreement for Alexander-Arnold.

However, Burgos claims Carreras will be the last defender recruited by Madrid this summer.

Madrid is now expected to divert their attention to midfield, where the club also identifies several other main targets, including young Stuttgart star Angelo Stiller.
