Alex Grimaldo is another option for Real Madrid if Alvaro Carreras’ signing fails

Real Madrid could turn their attentions to Alex Grimaldo in a bid to bring in the 29-year-old Leverkusen left-back this summer after their attempts to sign Alvaro Carreras failed.

Real Madrid are set to try to เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย sign 22-year-old left-back Carreras, but Benfica are adamant that the player will only leave if his €50m release clause is met, while Los Blancos are only willing to pay €40m, meaning a move for the Spaniard has stalled.

That left-back was supposed to be Alvaro Carreras. The Benfica defender was identified as the primary option for Los Blancos. But after completing deals for Alexander-Arnold and Huijsen, Carreras’ move stalled. The 22-year-old is keen to join Real Madrid, where he spent time as a youth player, but negotiations have not progressed.

On various occasions it has been reported that a deal has been reached. But so far that is not the case. Benfica have been demanding his €50m release clause. Conscious that a percentage of the deal will go to previous club Manchester United. Real Madrid have reportedly agreed to pay that fee. But only in instalments, while Benfica have reiterated on two occasions publicly that no deal has been reached.

Real Madrid could be looking at alternatives with the 29-year-old left-back Grimaldo. Who is an old protégé of Xavier Alonso at Leverkusen. Reportedly having a €15-20m release clause and knowing Alonso’s system well.
