As we all know, Benfica defender Alvaro Fernandez once grew up in Real Madrid's youth training system, and later moved to Manchester United and Benfica, and now he has made a name for himself. However, he always had the desire to return to Real Madrid, and now his wish has a chance to come true.

According to the Ass, Real Madrid plans to introduce Ernandez this summer and have reached an agreement with him on personal treatment. It can be said that Fernandez has been confirmed to join Real Madrid, and the remaining suspense is just a matter of how much transfer fee and how long it is to join.

Currently, the two left-backs in Real Madrid are in a fluctuating state and the other are frequently injured, and neither meet internal expectations.

After Alonso's arrival, the lineup will inevitably be adjusted accordingly. Real Madrid is ready to push the two into the transfer market and listen to the offer. In this case, Fernandez will definitely have a place to use it after his arrival.

It is understood that Manchester United has the priority repurchase right of Fernandez, and they can win it for 18 million euros. But Manchester United does not intend to repurchase first and then resell it to Real Madrid, because this will harm Benfica's interests.

Manchester United and Benfica have a good relationship and they don't want to hurt each other's feelings. The way this transfer will be achieved is that Benfica sells Fernandez to Real Madrid, and then Manchester United obtains part of the transfer fee.

In addition, Fernandez's contract has a termination clause worth 50 million euros. But Real Madrid thinks 50 million is too expensive, and they hope to get Fernandez for about 30 million. Negotiations between the two sides are in progress.

Fernandez is 22 years old and is a very aggressive left-back. He transferred to Benfica last summer and quickly adapted to the new environment, and his performance this season was eye-catching. Real Madrid believes that he is not only a future-oriented investment, but also has the strength of plug and play. Sources revealed that Fernandez is the target of signings personally designated by the new coach Alonso. Alonso hopes to implement the three-center-back system by introducing such players. At that time, Fernandez plays on the left, Arnold plays on the right, and Carvajal may change to play on the right center back.

Finally, what price do you think Fernandez's transfer fee is more appropriate? Is he capable of gaining a foothold in Real Madrid?
