Real Madrid reached a deal to sign Alvaro Carreras from Benfica on Monday, bringing back the young left back who came through the Spanish club's youth squads.
Madrid said the 22-year-old Carreras is arriving on a six-year contract. Financial details of the transfer were not immediately released.
Carreras played in Madrid's youth academy from 2017-20. The Spaniard joined Benfica from Manchester United after being named the English club's best under-23 player of the 2021-22 season. He won this year's Portuguese League Cup with Benfica.
Carreras will be officially introduced by Madrid on Tuesday.
Madrid was eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals of the Club World Cup. Madrid had a disappointing season by its standards, finishing runner-up to rival Barcelona in La Liga and being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Champions League despite having signed France star Kylian Mbapp last summer.

Shubman Gill Reveals What King Charles III Told Him: 'The Way Siraj Got Out...'
Shubman Gill said King Charles III discussed Mohammed Siraj's wicket in the Lord's Test during their meeting. Harmanpreet Kaur's women's team also met the King. India trails 2-1. Indian men's Test captain Shubman Gill has revealed that King Charles III, the English monarch, spoke about how 'unfortunate' Mohammed Siraj's wicket was in the Lord's Test during their meeting at St. James's Palace on Tuesday (July 15). The King also asked Gill how his team felt after seeing that, to which the 25-year-old just admitted that it was unlucky to lose the match that way, and he hoped for better luck from there on. Siraj, the number 11, survived 29 balls alongside the well-set Ravindra Jadeja for a final-wicket partnership that lasted over 13 overs. They brought India close to 20 runs from a famous win, but Siraj's 30th ball was a disaster — he offered a backfoot defense to Shoaib Bashir's wide turner but the ball bounced near his front leg and rolled gently to the base of his stumps, barely toppling the bails. He was bowled and England won. 'It was amazing to meet him," Gill told reporters. 'He was very kind and generous to call us. We had some really good conversations. He told us that the way our last batsman got out in the previous test match was quite unfortunate, the ball rolling on the stumps… he was asking us how did we feel after that. We told him that it was an unfortunate match for us and could have gone either ways but hopefully, we will have better luck in both the next games," Gill added. Harmanpreet Kaur-led women's team, who are playing a white-ball series in England, also visited the Palace for the first time. Apart from the meeting, she was also asked about the rise of women's cricket. 'It was a very nice experience," Kaur said. 'We have come to England so many times but this was our first time we met him. He was very friendly and asked us about our travel and everything. It was very nice meeting him… We have been playing good cricket and we are getting a lot of opportunities to express ourselves so really happy the things are moving," she added. Her side beat England 3-2 in the five-T20I rubber and will now play three ODIs against them, starting Wednesday. Gill thanks support Gill also thanked the Indian supporters for turning up in big numbers in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 'Everywhere we go, we are very lucky and fortunate that we always have a good support (from the Indian supporters)… Although in the first couple of days, there were a lot of English supporters at Lord's but in the last three days, we got a lot of Indian supporters…" he said. India men are trailing the Test series 2-1 with the fourth Test to begin on July 23 at Old Trafford. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
