La Liga giants Real Madrid remain confident when it comes to their chances of tying up a deal for Benfica star Álvaro Carreras.
That’s according to journalist Jorge C Picon, who has this weekend provided the latest on the situation.
The name of Spaniard Carreras has of course taken its place centre stage in the media headlines in his home country over recent weeks.
This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that new Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso had identified the 22-year-old as the perfect addition to his squad for next season.
An agreement with Benfica, in turn, was not expected to be long in being found.
To date, though, no such accord has been forthcoming, culminating in mounting concern amongst those of a Real Madrid persuasion.
But as alluded to above, if the latest word doing the rounds in the media on Saturday is anything to go by, Los Blancos’ fanbase, as of yet, need not fret.
As per a report from transfer insider Jorge C Picon:
‘Real Madrid are still keeping an eye on Álvaro Carreras, who remains the top choice for the left-back position. Although the club wanted to have him for the Club World Cup, they will aim to bring him in once it concludes. Optimism surrounds his arrival.’
