Spanish media: Real Madrid officially announced that Carreras joined this week and has reached an agreement with the players to terminate the contract by 50 million yuan

July 14th, Spanish authoritative media Daily Sports reported that La Liga giants Real Madrid have entered the final stage of signing Benfica's left-back Alvaro Carreras, and is expected to officially announce the transfer worth 50 million euros this week.

Real Madrid is determined to acquire Carreras at a high price, aiming to quickly strengthen the team's left-side defense, especially after the Club World Cup semi-final defeat at Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid's defense line was under tremendous pressure.

The Spanish media said Real Madrid has a long interest in the 22-year-old Spanish defender and the work has been underway for several weeks. However, due to time constraints, the deal was not completed before the start of the Club World Cup. Now that the game is over, Real Madrid's management is catching up on time to promote the transfer and strive to complete it as soon as possible. It is reported that Real Madrid and the players themselves have reached a complete agreement on personal terms.

The main obstacle to Real Madrid completing this deal is the firm position of the Benfica club. The Portuguese Super League giant insists that Real Madrid pay the 50 million euro termination fee clause stipulated in Carreras' contract. In the end, Real Madrid decided to meet this requirement to ensure the signing of the player who was regarded as the preferred target for the left-back position by the coaching staff.

Carreras' arrival will bring three players to the left-back position. Currently, the team has French international Ferran Mendy and Spanish player Fran Garcia. Fran Garcia was the main player in the just-concluded Club World Cup and her overall performance was OK, but the team's collapse in the semi-finals, especially on the defensive end, has sparked widespread criticism.

, and Ferran Mendy suffered a serious muscle injury against Barcelona last season's Cup final against him. He is still recovering and has not returned to the available lineup of coach Xavi Alonso. The French defender has been plagued by injuries in recent seasons and is one of the most likely players to leave the team in the summer window. However, there is no specific transfer offer for Mendy yet.
