Real Madrid could shift its transfer plans. While the signing of the young full-back Álvaro Carreras from Benfica seemed imminent, the operation is starting to stall due to economic reasons. The Portuguese club remains firm on receiving the €50 million stated in the player's release clause, an amount the white club is not willing to pay.

Journalists close to Real Madrid's current affairs, such as Josep Pedrerol, José Félix Díaz, and Fernando Burgos, have agreed that the Santiago Bernabéu offices do not consider reaching that figure. Despite real interest in Carreras, Real Madrid is not willing to go all out, especially for a player who is not yet established in European elite football.

Xabi Alonso Really Likes an Alternative

Given this scenario, Alejandro Grimaldo's name has gained prominence. The left-back from Bayer Leverkusen has had spectacular seasons under Xabi Alonso's command. The current Real Madrid coach knows him perfectly and has given the green light to his arrival. His experience in the Bundesliga and European competitions, coupled with his lower cost compared to Carreras, make him a much more attractive short-term option to strengthen Madrid's left flank.

Grimaldo also has the endorsement of being one of the standout defenders of the season, and his price would be much more affordable. If Benfica does not compromise on their demands, all signs point to Real Madrid making a move towards Leverkusen.
