⚠️ Real Madrid and Benfica reach agreement for Álvaro Carreras | OneFootball

Real Madrid is on the verge of closing a new signing for its defense after yesterday's debacle in the Club World Cup.

According to an exclusive revelation by transfer specialist journalist Fabrizio Romano, the white club has reached a verbal agreement with Benfica to incorporate young Spanish full-back Álvaro Carreras.

"EXCL: Álvaro Carreras to Real Madrid, here we go! Verbal agreement in place between Real and Benfica", Romano posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, giving the green light to an operation that has been carefully negotiated between the two entities.

The agreement contemplates the payment of 50 million euros million euros, although not in a single payment. Romano has specified that Real Madrid has managed to modify the initial single payment clause, and will pay the amount in several installments.

This allows the whites to maintain greater financial flexibility while strengthening their squad with one of the most promising defenders in European football.

Carreras, 22, has shone at Benfica this season, consolidating himself as one of the key pieces in the Lisbon team's defense and gaining notoriety in the European scene.

The signing represents a bet on the future by Real Madrid, which continues with its policy of incorporating young talent with a future, following recent successes such as those of Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and Arda Güler.
