Real Madrid and Benfica are set to hold talks this week regarding the transfer of left-back Álvaro Carreras, as previously planned. An agreement has already been reached with the player on a long-term contract, and now the two clubs are expected to discuss the transfer fee. According to the latest developments, the Spanish giants have been expediting transfer talks for Carreras, following their interest in the player after the Taça de Portugal Final. Carreras, who plays as a left-back, has a history with Real Madrid having previously been under their youth contract, although he has played for Benfica in the recent past. His style of play is characterised by his defensive prowess and ability to support his team’s attacks down the flank. The transfer fee negotiations between the two clubs are expected to be a key aspect of the discussions.
