Transfer Real Madrid (2/6/2025): Alvaro Carreras Priority, added one more central defender

Gilabola.com – Real Madrid is making Alvaro Carreras the main target to fill the position of the left back. However, reports from SIGN Mention that the club does not want to pay any price just to repatriate it to Valdebebas.

Carreras himself is a Real Madrid academy dropout who had studied at Valdebebas. He is known to have a typical Spanish soccer identity, qualified technique, and long -term potential in accordance with the club’s long -term plan.

Carreras’ performance with Benfica was considered quite impressive, thus attracting the attention of the La Liga giants. Although the release clause of Rp 929 billion has been widely known, the main problem in this transfer is not only a matter of price, but also a matter of agreement structure.

Benfica, as many parties know, is a famous club in the affairs of negotiations. In the case of Carreras, they again showed firmness. Last summer, they even forbade the player from joining the Olympics because it was more concerned with the interests of the club than international exposures.

Benfica firmly in negotiations

Benfica is indeed open to lowering a slight release clause, but they still insist on certain financial conditions, including the matter of payment methods.

As a club listed on the stock exchange, they have certain limits in the preparation of the contract and cannot make payments that are too flexible or outside of regulation.

In the midst of this deadlock, Real Madrid has also compiled an alternative list. Although Carreras remains the number one choice, the management realizes that flexibility is needed if Benfica insists not to budge. One of the names included in the backup list is Alejandro Grimaldo.

Grimaldo, who is a graduate of the Barcelona Academy, appeared impressive at Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso. He became one of the keys to the success of the team won the Bundesliga. His readiness to understand the Alonso system becomes more value that can tempt Madrid if negotiations with Benfica never come to meet the meeting point.

The club is still considering the addition of central defender

While the discussion for the position of the left back continues, Real Madrid is also still considering the option to bring in an additional central defender this summer.

The final decision seems to be very dependent on the team’s performance in the Club World Cup and the physical condition of Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba who have many problems with fitness.

Last season, Madrid had a shortage of central defender stock because of the many injuries. This even forced the coach at the time, Carlo Ancelotti, to play Aurelien Tchouameni as a central defender.

Although it appeared quite well, Xabi Alonso as a new coach did not want to repeat the strategy. He saw more Tchouameni as an important pillar in midfield, not defense.

Until now, Real Madrid has secured two names: Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold. In addition, the process of recruiting carreras also continues. However, the club still opens the option to bring additional central defender if Rudiger and Alaba conditions have not yet fully recovered ahead of the tournament in the United States.

Names like William Saliba and Ibrahima Konate have been discussed internally. Although there is no final decision, the long -term need for regeneration in defense has become a serious concern.

The age of Rudiger and Alaba which has touched the 30s, in addition to the fitness factor of the two, is an important reason behind the possibility of other central defender’s transfer.
