MADRID — Real Madrid reached a deal to sign Álvaro Carreras from Benfica on Monday, bringing back the young left back who came through the Spanish club's youth squads. Madrid said the 22-year-old Carreras is arriving on a six-year contract. Financial details of the transfer were not immediately released.

Carreras’ move to Real Madrid is set to make Manchester United a healthy sum of cash due to the sell-on clause the Red Devils possess.
