Real Madrid has signed Spanish defender Alvaro Carreras to a six-year contract
The 22-year-old left-back has joined the Spanish club in a deal valued at €50 million (£43 million) and has committed to a six-year contract.
Carreras was part of Real Madrid’s youth academy from 2017 to 2020 before moving to Manchester United.
He spent time on loan at Preston and Granada but did not make any appearances for Manchester United’s first team before transferring to Benfica in January 2024.

In their announcement of his transfer to Real Madrid, Benfica stated that Manchester United would receive 20 percent of any amount exceeding what they originally paid for the player.
Carreras, who played 68 matches for Benfica and scored five goals, contributed to their second-place finish in the Portuguese league last season and was part of their squad for the Club World Cup.
