Real Madrid are not slowing down in this summer’s transfer window. After already sealing moves for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, and Argentine wonderkid Franco Mastantuono, the Spanish giants are now closing in on their fourth signing — Álvaro Carreras.
According to trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano, the deal is in its final stages. Carreras is set to join Los Blancos from Benfica, with Real Madrid’s own young left-back Rafael Obrador heading in the opposite direction as part of the agreement.
The deal involves a fixed fee alongside Obrador’s permanent move to Benfica. Both clubs are reportedly finalizing the paperwork, and an official announcement could arrive in the coming days. The famous “Here we go” seems imminent.
Carreras is a full-back in his early twenties, known for his energy, dribbling, and defensive discipline, he’s viewed as a strong addition to Madrid’s squad depth and long-term project.
Meanwhile, Obrador’s move to Benfica gives him the platform for more regular first-team football, as he continues his development away from the Bernabéu spotlight.
With four exciting names already secured, Real Madrid’s summer business underlines a clear strategy — strengthen smartly, invest in youth, and stay ahead.
