When Real Madrid’s participation in the Club World Cup comes to a conclusion, which should happen this week, they will start up their transfer activities again. They were supposed to finalize the signing of Benfica’s Alvaro Carreras at that time, and this has now taken another step in the right direction.
The past 24 hours have seen reports that Real Madrid and Benfica have reopened negotiations for Carreras, who is anticipated to cost €50 million. Further developments have suggested that the former Manchester United player will be moving to the Santiago Bernabeu, which is nearly a given.
Rafael Obrador is another player who Real Madrid and Benfica have been negotiating for in addition to Carreras. Additionally, Diario AS claims that the two teams have reached a deal.
Carreras will be replaced by Obrador, a left-back who played on loan at RC Deportivo the previous season, at Benfica. As part of the deal, Real Madrid will get €5 million, and according to the report, they will also keep a clause that will guarantee that they have some control over his future.
Obrador’s sale will make the difference in Carreras deal
According to Brand, talks are nearing their conclusion, and following the conclusion of the Club World Cup, everything should be formally concluded. Carreras, who presently plays for Benfica, has made it apparent that he wants to join Los Blancos.
The player and Real Madrid established personal terms in June, and he has been clear that his ultimate goal is to go back to Spain. The arrangement may be formalized as soon as the club fulfills its obligations in the Club World Cup, and insiders claim that everything is “almost done.”
With the completion of this agreement with Obrador, it is highly probable that Carreras would sign with Real Madrid. An alleged €8 million discrepancy existed between Los Blancos’ and Benfica’s valuations when they attempted to finalize a transaction before the Club World Cup.
As a result, no contract was signed; however, this backup plan will help compensate. Seeing how Obrador does in Portugal will be intriguing. There may be opportunities for him to rejoin Real Madrid in the future, so the team will undoubtedly be monitoring his progress.
