Real Madrid have almost closed the deal for their next reinforcement: Álvaro Carreras. Eduardo Inda announced this during his appearance at “El Chiringuito”, emphasizing that the agreement with Benfica is in the final stages and only the formalization is expected. According to him, the understanding between the clubs came after several weeks of tension, during which the team from Lisbon was hesitant to facilitate this operation.

Inda explained that the main reason for the dispute was the method of payment. Real Madrid had proposed that the payment be made in installments, while Benfica had demanded the full amount immediately in cash. In the end, the Madrid club seems to have managed to impose its conditions, something that could lead to a "return of honor" in the future, opening the door to friendly negotiations between the two parties.

The Spanish left-back, who previously played for Manchester United before moving to Lisbon, will sign a five-year contract and will earn a salary of around 3.5 million euros net per year. Although there is no official statement yet, everything indicates that the formalization will take place once Benfica completes its participation in the Club World Cup.

Carreras, who has privately expressed his desire to join Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, has significantly reduced his appearances in recent matches, aware that an injury could jeopardize his transfer. The product of the Real Madrid academy is close to realizing his dream of wearing the white shirt, and everything indicates that he will soon become a new player for Los Blancos. The countdown has begun.
