Real Madrid has 50 million euros to attack Benfica s left gate A fee, Manchester United holds the buyback terms and wait and see how it changes

According to several authoritative European media confirmation, Real Madrid is accelerating the transfer negotiations of Benfica left-back Alvaro Fernandez (Feed A), and the transfer fee is expected to reach 50 million euros. However, the deal has been complicated by the repurchase terms and second transfer sharing involving Manchester United. If the negotiations fail, Real Madrid has locked in Leverkusen's Grimaldo as an alternative.

Real Madrid locked in AF, and the negotiations entered a critical stage.

22-year-old AF has shined in Benfica this season, contributing 4 goals and 5 assists in various competitions, and successfully restricted Barcelona star Yamal in the Champions League, becoming one of the most watched young left-backs in European football. Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso regards it as the first choice for left-wing reinforcement. The club has reached a principled agreement with the players on a six-year long contract, but it needs to agree with Benfica on the transfer fee.

Benfica has a tough attitude and insists on Real Madrid paying a 50 million euro termination fee, and hopes that the players will stay until the end of the Club World Cup in July before leaving the team. Real Madrid originally planned to reduce costs through Manchester United's repurchase (18 million euros) and then transfer, but Manchester United refused to cooperate, so that the transaction could only be negotiated directly with Benfica.

Manchester United holds key terms and waits for the transfer of benefits to maximize

A fee involves interests of multiple parties:

1. Repurchase terms: Manchester United has the right to repurchase A fee for 18 million euros, but British media revealed that the Red Devils have no intention of activating and prefer to retain future operation space.

2. Second transfer share: When Manchester United sells A fee to Benfica for 6 million euros in 2024, a 20% future transfer profit share is set in the contract. If Real Madrid pays 50 million euros, Manchester United will make a profit of about 9 million euros.

Manchester United's strategy is clear - it does not hinder A-fee from joining the giants, and at the same time obtaining additional benefits through share terms. This model has been previously reflected in Lukaku, Greenwood and other transactions.

Plan B: Grimaldo may become a replacement

If the transfer of A is blocked, Real Madrid will turn to 29-year-old Leverkusen's left-wing Grimaldo. The Spanish veteran performed well under Xavi Alonso this season, with the pharmaceutical company priced him at 30 million euros, and Atletico Madrid was also eyeing him. However, Real Madrid prefers to become younger A-fee, and Grimaldo is only an emergency choice. The transfer of

A fee not only tests Real Madrid's negotiation ability, but also reflects the complexity of modern football transfers - the youth training parent team, current club, players' willingness and agent operations are strife. In the next two weeks, as the Club World Cup approaches, the deal may usher in decisive progress.
