Alvaro Carreras faces an unclear future as Real Madrid cannot complete his transfer from Benfica. The Spanish club wanted to sign the young player before the Club World Cup started. Benfica demanded more money than Real Madrid wanted to pay. Spanish newspaper Marca reports that Real Madrid still wants Carreras. The club continues to support the talented player.
Benfica president Rui Costa asked Real Madrid to make another offer for Carreras. Costa faces serious problems inside his club. Members at Benfica have lost confidence and refuse to back him. He won the 2021 election easily but may not run again. The internal crisis affects all major decisions at the Portuguese club.
Costa learned from a costly mistake with defender Antonio Silva. He refused to sell Silva for 80 million euros earlier. The player's value later fell to just 30 million euros. This experience makes Costa very careful about selling young stars. He worries about making another expensive error with Carreras.
Real Madrid wants to add Carreras to their squad. The Spanish club believes he can help them compete at the highest level. Benfica must decide whether to keep or sell their promising talent. Costa's leadership troubles complicate the transfer talks. Carreras waits as both clubs work through their differences.
