Real Madrid have been desperate to sign Álvaro Carreras from Benfica this summer and a transfer agreement has now been reached.
Los Blancos were eager to add the left back to their roster before the FIFA Club World Cup but were unable to finalize a deal in time. They have been forced to wait to get their man but have now negotiated a €50 million ($58.42 million) fee with Benfica for the Spaniard.
Carreras follows in the footsteps of Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold as Madrid revamp their defense, with the 23-year-old set to compete with clubmates Ferland Mendy and Fran García at the Santiago Bernabéu.
But what number will the defender wear upon his move to the Spanish capital?
