Real Madrid want to use Man Utd as 'bridge transfer' to sign £51m defender

  • Real Madrid aims to sign 22-year-old left-back Alvaro Carreras from Benfica through a deal involving Manchester United in 2025.
  • Madrid seeks this route because Benfica demands around £51 million while United holds an £18 million buyback clause on Carreras.
  • Last summer, Carreras completed a permanent transfer from Manchester United to Benfica for £6 million and has contributed notably with four goals and five assists across more than 40 matches.
  • Real Madrid struggles at left-back due to injuries and initially pursued Alphonso Davies before considering Carreras as a cheaper alternative.
  • The proposed Manchester United ‘bridge transfer’ would profit United and allow Madrid to sign Carreras below Benfica’s asking price, showing strategic negotiation complexity.
