He has been a top priority target for Xabi Alonso who is impressed by the player's versatility and his ability to play in different formations according to the needs of the team.The ex-Manchester United player has had a very successful season at Benfica and is ready to showcase his talent at the top level.
Benfica president Rui Costa spoke about Madrid's interest in signing their left-back Carreras and stated that “they are waiting for an offer from the Spanish side”, and that the Portuguese side are yet to receive an offer for him. It will be interesting to see what happens in this transfer saga after the end of the Club World Cup.
