Álvaro Carreras, a defender heavily linked with Real Madrid, may have played his final match for Benfica. The young left-back is a key target for the Spanish giants this summer transfer window. This possibility comes as reports suggest his expected move to Spain is drawing closer despite delays.
Carreras made headlines across Spain several weeks ago. Reports confirmed the 22-year-old was Real Madrid’s top left-back target for the upcoming season.

Los Blancos had hoped to seal the deal by now, but Benfica’s board has reportedly proven difficult to negotiate with, causing frustration.
According to Portuguese outlet A Bola, recent information indicates the transfer is expected to happen. They report that Carreras’ match against Auckland City on Saturday might have been his last for the club.
He was absent from Benfica’s third and final Club World Cup group stage game, serving a suspension. Although the Real Madrid deal is not yet finalised, the full-back is anticipated to move to Spain.
