Real Madrid Secures Alvaro Carreras in a £43m Deal from Benfica

Real Madrid has officially signed Spanish defender Alvaro Carreras from Benfica in a £43m deal, marking a significant addition to their squad.

Real Madrid has successfully acquired Spanish defender Alvaro Carreras from Benfica in a deal reported to be worth £43 million. The 22-year-old has signed a six-year contract with the Spanish giants, reinforcing their defensive lineup.

Carreras, who was part of Real Madrid's youth set-up from 2017 to 2020, has had a varied career path. After his stint with Real Madrid, he joined Manchester United, where he had loan spells at Preston and Granada. Despite these opportunities, Carreras did not make an appearance for Manchester United's first team before moving to Benfica in January 2024.

At Benfica, Carreras played a pivotal role in helping the team secure a second-place finish in the Portuguese top-flight last season. He was also part of the squad that competed in the Club World Cup, showcasing his skills on an international stage.

This transfer marks a significant step in Carreras' career, as he returns to Real Madrid, a club where he began his youth career. His experience and performance at Benfica have undoubtedly made him a valuable asset for Real Madrid as they aim to strengthen their squad for future competitions.
