Barcelona and Real Madrid ready to clash over signing Benfica’s Carreras

Two of the biggest clubs in Spanish football Barcelona and Real Madrid, want to sign Benfica player  Álvaro Carreras.

That is according to reports by A Bola, who gave an insight into the developing situation on Friday. 

Carreras, has been making waves for a long time in the Primeira Liga, which is why it’s not surprising that Barca and Real want him. 

The left-back has been praised mainly for his offensive skills, with Carreras recording bags of pace with finished product to match. 

His talents have gotten the attention of certain leading clubs in Europe, with Manchester United, who signed him to Benfica this summer, still monitoring developments around his future. 

However, if the latest statement coming from Portugal is anything to hold on to, then La Liga is becoming the most likely destination for Carrerras, if he lives in Lisbon. 

‘Barcelona are keeping an eye on Carreras and the Champions League match in January could be decisive. Real Madrid are also keeping an eye on him and the Spaniards seem to have the advantage despite Manchester United’s clause.’
