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.
