Real Madrid are poised to intensify their efforts to sign Benfica defender Álvaro Carreras (22) once the Portuguese Cup final concludes this Sunday, May 25, where Benfica will face Sporting CP.
This report comes from the highly reliable @FabrizioRomano, indicating that the Spanish giants are ready to accelerate talks for the talented left-back.
Carreras, a former Real Madrid youth player who moved to Manchester United before joining Benfica, only made his loan move to Benfica permanent in May 2024, signing a contract until 2029.
Despite this, Real Madrid appears keen to bring him back to the Bernabéu.
This potential move for Carreras highlights what is shaping up to be a very busy summer transfer window for Real Madrid.
The club is already making headlines with their pursuit of Dean Huijsen, for whom they’ve sent a formal contract proposal.
Furthermore, the future of Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold remains a topic of considerable speculation, with Real Madrid reportedly a strong contender if he decides to leave Anfield.
With new head coach Xabi Alonso reportedly identifying key targets, Real Madrid are clearly aiming to bolster their squad with a mix of established stars and promising young talents.
The next few weeks are expected to be packed with transfer activity as Los Blancos look to build on their recent successes.
