The Portuguese club Benfica and the Spanish club Real Madrid are nearing the conclusion of the details regarding the transfer of left-back Álvaro Carreras, after long and arduous negotiations between the two parties. The player is expected to return to his former team Real Madrid to participate in the Club World Cup.

Despite the difficulty of the negotiations, Benfica has shown flexibility that allows Carreras to participate with Real Madrid in the global tournament, but they will receive the full value of the player's release clause, refusing to reduce the amount.

The deal was expected to be completed last week to avoid the player returning to Benfica's training, but the Portuguese club's insistence on its position has led to a delay in the agreement. Currently, Carreras continues his professional training with Benfica, awaiting the official announcement of the completion of the deal.

Benfica will announce all financial details of the deal, including the sale price and potential variables based on achieving objectives, as soon as the contract is signed.

This deal comes as part of Real Madrid's efforts to strengthen the team in preparation for the upcoming competitions, especially the Club World Cup.
