Real Madrid Recruit Benfica Defender Alvaro Carreras...signing a six-year contract



[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] Real Madrid officially recruited Carreras as Benfica's left fullback Alba. The contract period is six years, and the transfer fee is reported to be about 43 million pounds (about 74 billion won).

Carreras, 21, is originally from Real Madrid Youth. After moving to Manchester United in 2020, he succeeded in a complete transfer after being loaned to Benfica last season, and returned to his former team Real Madrid this summer.

There were also complicated provisions for Carreras' transfer. In January, it was reported that Manchester United had a £15m buyback clause that was valid until January 2026. Real took priority by negotiating for an amount that exceeded this.




With this recruitment, Carreras became the fourth reinforcing resource under coach Xavi Alonso. Earlier, Real have strengthened their squad by recruiting Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huysen and Franco Manstantuono in turn.

Alonso is speeding up the team's reorganization by bringing in a balance of promising players and proven resources in the transfer market this summer. Attention is focusing on how Carreras, who returned to his home team, will show his competitiveness in the left fullback position.
