As: Real Madrid quotation of A fee of 40 million euros, Benfica is determined to ask for 48 million euros

"As" learned that Real Madrid and Benfica had a 8 million euro difference in the transfer fee of left-back Alvaro Fernandez. The Galaxy battleships offer 40 million euros, while Benfica insisted on 48 million euros (the severance fee of A is 50 million). This has become a core obstacle for the deal to be delayed, although the negotiations have entered the final sprint.

Another key factor is the qualification to participate in the Club World Cup. It should be noted that Benfica also has the right to participate in this event. As the player registration deadline approaches on June 10, Real Madrid is accelerating the negotiation process. The club is optimistic about reaching an agreement, which stems from having already reached personal terms with the players. Fee A has joined Real Madrid youth training in 2017. After transferring to Manchester United in 2021, he has been to Benfica and is now eager to return to the Bernabeu.

However, negotiations with Benfica were at a deadlock. Real Madrid tried to reduce the total cost (including the additional terms of the Club World Cup) from 50 million euros to 48 million, but the Portuguese super giants were tough. It is worth mentioning that Benfica has signed Samuel Dal as a replacement. Since Benfica is a listed company, the final transaction price must be disclosed as accurately as when Dortmund sold Bellingham.
