Manchester United can re-sign Alvaro Carreras for £ 17 million instead of paying its £ 51 million release clause that applies to other clubs, so that Real Madrid comes up with a solution
A controversial transfer plan in which Manchester United and Real Madrid have been labeled by the agent of Benfica star Alvaro Carreras 'Pure Invention'. The left back, 22, came to Benfica from Unitha last year and has attracted the eye of clubs in Europe thanks to its impressive versions.
When they agreed to sell Carreras for around £ 5 million, United negotiated on a repurchase clause that is worth £ 17 million. Benfica himself has moved to place a release clause of £ 51 million in the Spaniard contract.
Real are reluctant to pay such a high price in the summer transfer window, so I reportedly came up with a solution. The Spanish giants, who spent three years with at youth level, would want United to activate their return clause and then immediately sell him to them for £ 29 million.
That had a cool profit of £ 12 million united that would improve their well -documented financial situation, with Ruben Amorim's summer recruitment plans decreasing from the sale of big money. But the Carreras agent, Gines Carvajal, has deposited cold water on Suguesn that Real and United could form the controversial agreement.
“I don't know where this news comes from,” says Carvajal by Sport. “Everything said is pure invention and does not deserve a comment from me.”
The agent further confirmed that Carreras is not going anywhere this summer and added: “Carreras is doing very well with Benfica and will continue there.”
In January, the 22-year-old confirmed that he played 'Happy' for the Portuguese giants, who fight against city rivals with Lisbon for both the competition and the cup with a few more games to go.
“I have a contract for many years here at Benfica, I am happy,” Carreras said via Record. “They gave me the chance to grow, and I owe everything to them.”
Does Manchester United Alvaro Carreras have to buy back? Say in the commentary part.
Carreras left Madrid in 2020 and never made a first team for United. He was lent to Preston North End, Granada and then Benfica, who signed him permanently in January 2024.
United is well filled with left back while things are. The Red Devils signed Patrick Dorgu for £ 25 million in January and have Luke Shaw back from an injury.
Tyrell Malacia is also back from his loan saying with PSV Eindhoven, unless the Dutch heavyweights permanently sign him. And finally, Academy product Harry Amass made its Premier League debut in March and seems to be strongly assessed by United Boss Amorim.
