Real Madrid are in talks over a move for former Manchester United star Alvaro Carreras, according to reports.
The Spanish giants are set to land highly-rated Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen in a £50million deal and are now reportedly in pole position to sign full-back Carreras from Benfica.
According to Relevo, Real have been instructed to pursue a move for Carreras by Xabi Alonso, who is expected to be named as the club's new manager to succeed Brazil-bound Carlo Ancelotti.
Carreras signed for Man United's academy in 2020 before being loaned to Benfica in 2023.
