Real to approach Benfica for Carreras after Taca de Portugal final

Real Madrid have had a nightmare season despite high expectations for this campaign with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe.

The 'Merengues' have fallen short of winning La Liga, lost the Copa del Rey final to Barcelona and were eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals, being vulnerable in defence in all these competitions.

Los Blancos are going all out for the summer transfer window and after announcing the arrival of Dean Huijsen and being about to announce the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alvaro Carreras is next in line to reinforce the Spanish side's defence.

The 22-year-old full-back has already been reported as a top target for the Madrid outfit, and once again it has been Fabrizio Romano who has confirmed that the former Manchester United man wants to join Real Madrid.

In fact, the 'Merengues' plan to continue talks with Benfica after the Portuguese side play the Portuguese Cup final against Sporting Lisbon on May 25th.
