Will The Battle for Carreras Commence?…
Hold onto your shin pads, folks, because Benfica’s Rui Costa just dropkicked a truth bomb that Real Madrid hasn’t even knocked on their door about snagging Alvaro Carreras. That’s right! The once-Manchester United hopeful is now turning heads faster than a seagull swooping on chips, but Los Blancos haven’t even sent a carrier pigeon, let alone opened their famed war chest.
Carreras, who zig-zagged through clubs like a pinball from Preston North End to Granada, landed gracefully at Benfica with a sparkly record. He made more appearances than socks lost in a washing machine — 52 in total, bagging four cheeky goals. Whispered over espressos, Real Madrid is supposedly eyeing their former starlet like a hawk stalking dinner at sunset. But if fancying wasn’t enough, President Costa insists, “show me an offer first, bucko!”
Meanwhile, Manchester United is lurking in the shadows like an excited squirrel sensing a nut, hoping to benefit if Carreras makes the big Real return. With Benfica taking down Bayern like David did Goliath, all eyes are now glued to the mammoth clash against Chelsea! Carreras, with a poker face more solid than stone, diplomatically punts each query, focusing instead on the shiny Club World Cup ahead.
