Alvaro Carreras when he played for MU.

According to Marca , Real are targeting left-back Alvaro Carreras, who plays for Benfica. What's special is that "Los Blancos" do not want to negotiate directly with the Portuguese team, but instead, they want to use Man United as a "bridge" to achieve their goal.

Alvaro Carreras used to be a Man United player, and the English club sold him to Benfica for just £5 million. However, the Red Devils wisely included a £15 million buy-back clause in the contract to sell Carreras. This is the detail that Real Madrid wants to take advantage of.

Real Madrid are now unwilling to meet Benfica's £51m valuation of Carreras. Instead, they want to ask Man United to activate their buy-back clause, after which Real would pay between £26m and £30m to sign the player from his former club.

This "roundabout" deal is considered to be beneficial for both parties. Real Madrid can save a significant amount of money compared to Benfica's asking price, while Man United will benefit financially by buying back and quickly selling Carreras to earn a significant difference, which can be up to more than £10 million in a short time.

Carreras, 22, was signed by United from Real Madrid in 2020 and developed through the club's youth system. He spent time on loan at Preston North End and Granada before leaving Old Trafford to join Benfica.

It was at the Portuguese club that Carreras exploded and made a strong impression with his comprehensive offensive and defensive ability on the left flank. The 22-year-old player is playing impressively in the Primeira Liga with 46 appearances in all competitions.
