1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 12th According to the Ass, since the transfer window specially opened by FIFA for the Club World Cup has been closed, Real Madrid will continue to negotiate with Benfica for the transfer of Alvaro Fernandez after the Club World Cup.
As FIFA’s transfer window specially opened for the Club World Cup (June 2-10) closed last night, Real Madrid has made it clear that it will not be possible to introduce new players in the Club World Cup held in the United States.
Initially, Real Madrid planned to provide Alonso with three new players to strengthen the defense line, but eventually they could only sign two: Wyson and Arnold. The third target of signing was Benfica’s left-back Alvaro Fernandez, but because Benfica insisted on asking for a price of 48 million euros and Real Madrid was only willing to pay 40 million euros, the agreement was failed.
Real Madrid hopes that negotiations with Benfica will be smoother after the Club World Cup ends. The player himself is very eager to wear Real Madrid jerseys, but he is currently bound by the conditions of his own club. For the upcoming Club World Cup, Alonso will have to rely on Fran Garcia and will likely bring Castia’s Eusi.
