Real Madrid officially announced the fourth signing in the summer transfer window this morning. The 22-year-old young left-back Alvaro Fernandez officially joined and became an important candidate for the Bernabeu left-back and left-wingback next season.

It is reported that Real Madrid highly recognizes Alvaro's return. After signing a contract for 6 years, he will become an important helper under Xavi Alonso. Previously, Romano confirmed that Real Madrid would pay Benfica a 50 million euro termination fee (in installments), which is indeed very high. Real Madrid's transfers in these seasons are basically "stingy" and they will only pay a high price to make money as long as they agree with this person. It can be seen from this that Alvaro belongs to the latter.

Real Madrid listed the 22-year-old Alvaro's youth training background in the official announcement. He played for the club's echelon from 2017 to 2020 and then transferred to Manchester United. In the 2021-2022 season, Alvaro officially became Manchester United's U23 best player, and his overall performance and talent were very good. He then transferred to Benfica, won the Portuguese League championship with the team, and now joins Real Madrid. Listing his past experiences of "his own people" for many years is also the basis for Real Madrid supporters to favor him, and it is indeed very Bernabeu.

Although Manchester United has a buyback clause, they are considered adult beauty this time and have not competed for Real Madrid's prey. It is reported that he will complete the transfer ceremony today and will answer various questions after signing the contract. Currently, the defender is worth about 35 million euros in the German transfer market, so Real Madrid's signing is relatively good.

Alvaro Fernandez is not only young, but also has a very online height and ability to compete. He is a modern full-back. He has good breakthrough ability and can create assist space for the team. At the same time, he is more in line with Real Madrid's needs in terms of offense and defense integration. With Alvaro as a guarantee, Xavi Alonso's three-center-back system can be implemented better, which is an important opportunity for Real Madrid.

Alvaro joins the franchise time is also suitable. Most of the Real Madrid defenders are older. He is likely to directly obtain important task arrangements and even the main qualifications. As long as his strength is adapted, he can quickly get into the state.
