Battleship savior? Spanish genius defender will join Real Madrid, Champions League locked Yamal

May 19th news, according to Italian journalist Moreto, Real Madrid has reached an oral agreement with 22-year-old Spanish defender Alvaro Fernandez Carreras (Fei), and the two sides are expected to sign a contract for 6 years.

In the 2024-25 Champions League stage, in Barcelona's match against Benfica, A-Fei performed very well against Yamal, causing trouble for Yamal on the defensive end many times, and successfully suppressed the performance of the new star for most of the time.

According to previous reports from Spanish media, the A-fee transaction may involve three clubs, Benfica, Manchester United and Real Madrid. A Fei once played for Real Madrid youth team and later transferred to Manchester United youth team. In early 2024, he joined Benfica on loan and was bought out by Benfica last summer. The termination fee for Fee A is 60 million euros, while Manchester United has a 18 million euros buyback clause. Real Madrid hopes that Manchester United can repurchase the A fee first, and then sell it to Real Madrid for a price of 30 million to 35 million euros.

However, Romano said that Manchester United will not activate the repurchase clause of fee A. It is worth mentioning that the British media Manchester Evening News previously reported that in Benfica's contract to buy out A fee, Manchester United added the "second transfer share" clause. If Real Madrid signs A fee from Benfica for 60 million euros, the Red Devils can also earn a considerable income.

It is reported that it is only a matter of time before A-fee joins Real Madrid. The Galaxy battleship is currently negotiating with Benfica.
