Real Madrid to dent Ruben Amorim's summer plans as club look for 'alternatives' to former Manchester United star

By
Real Madrid could scupper Ruben Amorim's summer plans given reports suggest the Spanish giants are no longer looking at signing a former Manchester United star.

Real Madrid have reportedly prepared for the possibility they do not sign Benfica left-back Alvaro Carreras, meaning Manchester United may not receive a windfall from his sale.

Los Blancos have already made two reinforcements at the back, signing Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool and Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth.

The Spanish giants reportedly wanted to bring in Carreras from Benfica, with some rumours saying that Real were willing to pay his £42m release clause.

Carreras's sale would have been significant for his former side Manchester United considering the Red Devils had negotiated a sell-on clause of between 40 and 50 percent when they sold the left-back in the summer of 2024, meaning they could have netted a £20m sum.

However, Marca claim that Real Madrid have prepared a list of alternatives in case they cannot negotiate a lower fee for the Spaniard.
