Manchester United will have to fend off competition from both Real Madrid and Barcelona if they are to re-sign left-back Alvaro Carreras, according to a report.
New United manager Ruben Amorim wants to strengthen at left-back in 2025 and the Red Devils are believed to have already started working on that for secure a deal for Cerro Porteno’s 17-year-old Diego Leon.
However, a larger option could also be pointed out and united They have proposed re-signing Carreras, who was known as Alvaro Fernández during his time in United’s academy between 2020 and 2024.
United have a buy-back option for Carreras, with former manager Erik ten Hag apparently confirm that the Red Devils could activate the clause in 2025.
according to TO THE BALL (via Sports testimony), Amorim’s arrival has only strengthened United’s interest in Carreras, who the new manager watched closely during his time in charge of Portuguese rivals Sporting CP.
Although United have the upper hand thanks to his buy-back clause, which is understood to be €20m (£16.6m), they will still need to convince Carreras to turn down interest from Madrid i Barcelona if they want to win the race for their signature.
Both La Liga giants are on the hunt for a new left-back and could see Carreras as a cost-effective option, although Benfica are willing to do whatever it takes to hold on to the 21-year-old defender until the summer. transfer window
