Liverpool are reportedly keen on acquiring the services of Alvaro Fernandez Carreras, potentially pushing former club Manchester United to act.
According to Correio da Manha via Sport Witness, Liverpool’s interest in the services of Benfica full-back Alvaro Fernandez Carreras is growing. The Reds are plotting a move for the former Manchester United star, and it could force the Reds Devils to trigger the buy-back clause as their new boss Ruben Amorim is a big admirer of the Spanish defender.
Carreras was a part of the Real Madrid youth ranks back in the day. Things did not work out for him at the Spanish club, and he ended up joining Manchester United in the summer of 2020. He went up the ranks and got promoted to their first team in the summer of 2022.
While he had a few impressive loan spells away from the club, the 21-year-old never made an appearance for their first team. The Spaniard ended up completing a permanent move to Benfica in the summer on the back of an exceptional short loan spell at the Portuguese club.
Alvaro Fernandez Carreras has made the left-back slot his own at Benfica. He has featured in 16 matches for their first team and has contributed towards four goals (two goals, two assists). His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with the player also having clarity on his preferred destination.
Liverpool want to sign Alvaro Fernandez Carreras
Liverpool are one of the clubs that have taken note of his performances, and they could soon knock on Benfica’s door for his signature. Andrew Robertson’s levels have dropped in recent seasons and Arne Slot seeks an upgrade in that position.
The former Manchester United prospect could be an ideal signing for the long run. While the Reds’ interest in Carreras’s services in growing, the Reds Devils could look to bring in back to Old Trafford following Ruben Amorim’s arrival.
Manchester United could buy back Carreras
Triggering the buy-back clause in his contract could be the very first move that Amorim makes as the United boss in January. He is a big admirer of the young full-back, having watched him from close quarters in the Portuguese top flight.
While Manchester United do have Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia in their squad, both of them have struggled to stay fit, and Carreras’s potential suggests he could be a great acquisition for the long run. He has proved himself at the highest level and is believed to be an ideal fit for Amorim’s style of play.
More importantly, Manchester United could sign him for just €20 million, which surely seems like a massive bargain as Liverpool will have to trigger his €50 million release clause.
