Álvaro Carreras

Recent reports from June 2026 state Real Madrid hope to sell the player for at least €25 million, while other reports from the same period suggest the club aims to recoup most of the €50 million fee they paid. Market valuations cited in rumours from April to June 2026 range from €50 million to €60 million. The player's transfer history confirms a completed move from Benfica to Real Madrid in July 2025 for a €50 million fee, which was his release clause at the Portuguese club. Prior to that move, Manchester United reportedly held buy-back clauses valued between €18 million and €20 million.

Our valuation is driven by Real Madrid's recent signing of a new left-back, creating pressure to sell Álvaro Carreras. Reports from June 2026 present conflicting goals: a minimum asking price of €25 million versus a desire to recoup most of the €50 million fee paid in July 2025. Our range reflects this uncertainty, with the estimate representing a likely compromise given the club's motivation to sell and the player's high initial investment cost.
