The Red Devils flip the script, blindsiding Real Madrid with a Rodrygo twist in the Álvaro Carreras deal.
FULL STORY:
Real Madrid orchestrated a clever plan to acquire Benfica’s Álvaro Carreras for a cut-price €18M via a clause with Manchester United—only to resell him for €35M, bypassing Benfica’s €60M demand. But United stunned Madrid by refusing to sell, proposing instead a blockbuster Rodrygo swap. Ancelotti was blindsided, and tensions now ripple through both clubs. Benfica, caught in the crossfire, may retaliate. The transfer chessboard has flipped—and war looms.
