Carreras: Here we go
EXCL: Álvaro Carreras to Real Madrid, here we go! Verbal agreement in place between Real and Benfica.
Real negotiated to pay €50m in multiple installments instead of one-payment clause.
As soon as Man Utd confirm they don’t activate buy back clause, Álvaro will travel. pic.twitter.com/j0dWqC9zXe

More signings?
❗️ ️ “I think there will be more signings, besides Álvaro Carreras”
❗️ ️ “In the coming days/weeks, the Rodrygo issue will blow up; I think it’s one of the clearest decisions.”

It looks like the bad result and individual performances vs PSG actually gave more power to Alonso on planning the next season.
Xabi Alonso will be DIRECTLY involved in Real Madrid’s planning for this summer’s transfer window and for the future.
The club will follow what the coach wants and what he decides. @FabrizioRomano pic.twitter.com/MA3rioyRL5

BREAKING: Liverpool want at least €50M for Ibrahima Konaté this summer.
Real Madrid are NOT considering paying that, as they now know that Konaté has decided to join them anyway.
They plan to sign him in 2026 for free, unless Liverpool lower their price now. @diarioas pic.twitter.com/dCIF7oh3dp
