The Club World Cup has provided several difficult situations to understand. As players wearing a shirt that in just one month – or before – will not dress again. It is a situation that will happen with several signings of Real Madrid, such as Álvaro Carreras, to whom Benfica protects, insisting, again and again, that until an agreement between the clubs does not fruit, the operation cannot be given as valid. It is the strict and accurate way to understand the transfer market that has been completely altered with the FIFA appointment.
Benfica: 52 Millones clause The Nothing
The agency that presides over Infantino decided to take, at the initiative of the president himself, a decision that altered the transfers window. One more anomaly in the calendar as the one already involved in club World Cup itself, inserted as a transition between one season and another, depriving players from rest, especially in the case of Europeans. Thus, from June 1 to 10, the 32 participants were able to formalize operations.
Real Madrid landed in Palm Beach with two new faces: Dean Huijsen and Alexander-Arnoldalthough I would have preferred to do it with two more. Those of Franco Mastantuonowhose signing for the White Club, from River, is already official; and that of Álvaro Carreras, a white team, with which there is an agreement, but not with Benfica, the club that has its property and that demands the payment of the clause: 52 million, so that it can be disconnected. In the case of lusted lusos clubs, such as Lisbon, there are no double readings, because they need to declare their income.
Therefore, although from the Real Madrid environment they strive to say that they will not leave the player “alone” and that the operation will be official after the Club World Cup, from the concentration of Benfica they close ranks for which it remains its footballer. A player who has traveled with the rest of the expedition of The Aguias and that debuts on Monday against Boca Juniors (00:00 hours in Spain).
“First, there must be a proposal with which Benfica reaches an agreement, regardless of the club. Then, I see that any player with the performance of Álvaro Carreras can reach any team in the world. It would not be the first to come out of Benfica and it is imposed on any European club. In the last 10 or 15 years, any player who has left Benfica has had that capacity, “said Bruno Lage in the appearance prior to the premiere of a club, which, like Real Madrid, seeks in the Club World Cup its redemption to a bad season.
Fran García, the only alternative in the absence of Mendy
Benfica has been inflexible at all times, because for the Portuguese club, the racing transfer before July is two problems: the first, to reinforce a rival in this tournament; And secondly, the lace of 52 million is more favorable to its accounting year within next month. Although the total amount has been, precisely, one of the great debate issues between both parties.
Real Madrid has sought all formulas to get careers: first, a lower price; And then, prorated payments that fit an investor market like the one he is facing this summer. Benfica's response for the player who represents Ginés Carvajal has always been the same: o Clause, or nothing. As they have done with Mastantuono or Huijsen, with which, as with races, an agreement with the footballer was first reached and then with the team of origin.
If there is no negotiated departure, the Madrid club will have to go through a box, entirely, for the third time, raising the expense account above 180 million euros. But the current reality is that Xabi Alonso only counts for the World Cup, of departure, with a single left side such as Fran García -also represented by Ginés Carvajal, such as Dani Carvajal himself -, which will turn that flank into one of the weak points for a regeneration project like the one headed by Tolosarra. Illusible before a minute played, but whose trial will begin on Wednesday, with the debut against Al Hilal.
