Official: Álvaro Carreras is Back at Real Madrid
Real Madrid have completed the signing of Spanish left-back Álvaro Carreras from Benfica for €50 million, making it the club's fourth signing of the summer. The 22-year-old joins on a six-year deal, with Real Madrid activating his release clause without entering formal negotiations. The club moved swiftly to secure Carreras, who has impressed with his recent performances in Portugal. A product of Madrid's La Fábrica academy, Carreras was part of the youth system between 2017 and 2020 before leaving for Manchester United, where he did not make a senior appearance. He gained first-team experience during loan spells at Preston North End and Granada, before joining Benfica in 2024 – initially on loan and later permanently for around $7 million. Carreras made 32 appearances and scored three goals last season, helping Benfica to a second-place finish in the Primeira Liga, and was also part of the Club World Cup squad in the US. Madrid paid the full release clause for several reasons: his Spanish nationality benefits the squad under La Liga's non-EU player rules, and the club's current left-backs, Fran García and Ferland Mendy, have been struggling with injuries. Benfica confirmed that: 'Manchester United will be entitled to receive a 20% capital gain on the transfer of the aforementioned player.' Tags: Álvaro CarrerasBenficaReal Madrid
