Real Madrid finally look set to seal a deal for Benfica left-back Alvaro Carreras following the stalemate between the two clubs earlier in the summer.
Xabi Alonso’s side were hoping to sign the 22-year-old in the mini transfer window ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup but were unable to strike a deal with Benfica.

It’s understood that sporting director Rui Costa was unwilling to sell Carreras for less than his €50 million release clause.
According to Marca, tensions between the two clubs have now eased and they are willing to discuss a deal once again.
Carreras and Real Madrid have already agreed personal terms and it is now up to the club to get a deal with Benfica done.
