From June 15 to July 13, FIFA will organize its club World Cup. A competition that Real Madrid takes very seriously. After a season that has not lived up to expectations, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium wish to win this tournament. Besides, the leaders have advanced Xabi Alonso's signature for this. Initially, the Spanish technician was to take control of the first team after the World Cup, which was to be led by an interim coach namely Santiago-Solari. But Florentino Pérez, unhappy with the results of his team, changed his plans. It must be said that in addition to one title, there is a lot of money at stake since the winner will win € 115 million.
What motivate Madrid. To appear in this competition well and prepare for next season as quickly as possible, Real Madrid wanted to take advantage of the transfer window planned for the teams participating in the World Cup to recruit. The Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold files have been completed in recent weeks. The idea was to do the same for Alvaro Carreras (22), the priority of the Merengues for the position of left side. Former Casa Blanca, Spaniard has all the qualities that appeal to Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid. Confident, the club of the Iberian capital has gradually lost its smile at the firmness of Benfica.
It gets stuck for Alvaro Carreras
May 30, El Chiringuito revealed that the Portuguese team informed Real Madrid that he had to pay € 50 million, the amount of the Carreras clause. “It's either the clause or nothing”even dropped Benfica to the Merengues. Except that Florentino Pérez did not want to put as much and did everything to lower the price of the side. At the same time, Real Madrid has kept the door open for other players like Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen) or Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth). But the priority is Alvaro Carreras, for which Benfica also required more money to release him for the tournament organized by FIFA. In recent hours, this file has also experienced several twists and turns.
Last night, Marca revealed that the player was going to embark with Benfica for the United States for the Club World Cup. But the Iberian publication said that the Portuguese finalized his transfer to Real Madrid, with which he was to play the World Cup. But in the night, El Chiringuito has unveiled new information. Presenter Josep Pedreol, close to Florentino Pérez, assured that Alvaro Carreras will play the World Cup with Benfica. According to him, he was recorded by Benfica for this competition and he cannot play for another club now. The Madrid plan is now to pay its clause after the tournament. For his part, The Athletic Confirm that new negotiations are to come between Benfica and Real Madrid. A blow for the Merengues, who wanted to have it in their ranks as quickly as possible.
