Overview

• Carreras has signed with Real Madrid until 2031 in a €50 million move from Benfica.
• Real will pay the fee in installments after Manchester United declined to exercise its buy-back option on the left-back.
• The €50 million sum makes Carreras the most expensive left-back in LaLiga history, overtaking Ferland Mendy’s €48 million transfer.
• Benfica acquired Carreras last year for €6 million and will share over €8 million of its profit with Manchester United under a resale clause.
• The transfer represents another step in coach Xabi Alonso’s summer rebuild following earlier arrivals including Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Franco Mastantuono.
