Álvaro Fernández is a player who wants to sign Real Madrid. Negotiations between Real Madrid and Benfica are already in the last phases, and Manchester United-Die a back-back option has approved the transfer. Benfica and Madrid are currently discussing the final reimbursement, which is expected to fall between € 40 million and € 50 million.
Benfica is on a minimum transfer costs of € 40 million, but hope to receive € 50 million to satisfy their fans. Benfica initially paid Manchester United € 6 million for A. Fernández, and under the conditions of the deal with Madrid € 18 million goes to United.
Álvaro Fernández was approved by Xabi Alonso, who asked for the signing of this left back. He plans to use Fernández in his favorite system with three central defenders: Arnold on the right, Fernández on the left and the recent signing of Heijsen in the middle. This defensive arrangement would be completely renewed, and even Dani Carvajal would play a role as a third center-back on the right.
