Real Madrid has moved quickly to try to build the squad for next season. While some departures still need to take place, signings are starting to arrive and will be available for the Club World Cup. The holding of this new competition has changed the plans of many clubs, including Madrid itself, which has sped up all its key moves.
Florentino hasn't stopped for a moment since the season ended and has two deals almost ready to go. In fact, according to Melchor Ruiz on COPE, the only thing left is to make both official.
Álvaro Carreras is a matter of hours
He is the chosen one and his signing is practically done. Álvaro Carreras will be a new Real Madrid player and everything is expected to become official in the next few hours. Negotiations with Benfica are in the final stretch, already exchanging key documentation. In this regard, the agreement with the Spaniard is done, signing a contract for the next six seasons.
Since Benfica is required to disclose all figures of the deal as it's listed on the stock market, everything will become official when the paperwork is completely ready. No problems are expected and the plan is for everything to be official by the end of next weekend at the latest, possibly even sooner.
Arnold, the next to join Real Madrid
While Álvaro Carreras will be the first to be announced, in the following days the announcement for Alexander-Arnold would follow. This is a similar case: everything is done and the only thing missing is the documentation, with an agreement with the Englishman until 2030. Since he intends to play in the Club World Cup, there have been negotiations with Liverpool that have delayed everything.
This way, and always according to the information provided by COPE, the first to join will be Álvaro Carreras. Hours later, the desired official announcement of Arnold is expected. This way, Real Madrid would consider the reinforcements for the full-back positions complete, exponentially increasing the level of both with two signings for both the present and the future.
The machinery is in motion and very, very soon news is expected for Real Madrid.
