Real Madrid has to face a new delay in its efforts to recruit Alvaro Carreras after the FIFA club World Cup.
Xabi Alonso has paused all transfers during the tournament in order to focus on the conquest of the title in North America.
The former Spanish international concluded agreements with Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold, two Premier League players, before flying to the United States, all for a total amount of around 60 million pounds sterling.
The transfer of Carreras should be part of a new defense under the leadership of Alonso, with Trent Right, Huijsen in the center and Carreras on the left.
Benfica's decision to include Carreras in its workforce for the tournament aroused some concerns about the outcome of the transfer, but it was finally considered a coup de Lisbon.
Real Madrid about to conclude the transfer of Carreras
Real Madrid previously hoped to conclude a transfer for 40 million euros, but according to Marca, it will have to pay the entire release clause of 50 million euros to obtain its departure from Lisbon.
The legend of the Rui Costa club and coach Bruno has teamed up to let people know that no agreement had been concluded concerning the 22 -year -old.
None of the two wished to discuss a departure during the Club World Cup and they remained firm on their conditions to authorize a sale.
When will Real Madrid sign Carreras?
The elimination of Benfica in the round of 16 by Chelsea on June 28 will be decisive in the will of Real Madrid to recruit Carreras.
The obstacle represented by the participation in the competition was lifted, but that does not change much to the calendar of his arrival in Madrid, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Like all players playing in the United States, Carreras will now go on summer vacation, as decided by players' unions before the 2025/26 season.
This could repel the final confirmation of his transfer to the Spanish capital at the end of July, where he will join the team for the last phase of the pre-season in Valdebebas.
