Real Madrid is set to announce the signing of left-back Alvaro Carreras from Benfica. The 22-year-old former academy talent returns to the Bernabéu in a significant €50m deal, with Rafael Obrador moving the other way. This transfer concludes months of negotiation.
Trent Alexander-Arnold officially joined Real Madrid, surprising many with his fluent Spanish at the presentation. He called the move a 'dream come true,' praised new coach Xabi Alonso, and detailed his emotional, 'perfect' Liverpool exit for his 'only' destination.
