According to Le Marca, although news a few weeks ago that Alvaro Fernandez is about to transfer, both Benfica and Real Madrid said they are still far from reaching an agreement because Real Madrid has made it clear that they will not do anything.

negotiations are still in progress, because for Real Madrid, the preferred target for strengthening the left-back position is the player who grew up at the training camp of Valdebebas. However, from the beginning of contact, Real Madrid made it clear that they would not do anything, which was emphasized in the current open negotiations.

Benfica is not an easy partner in transfer operations, because they are used to selling players at high prices and are not easy to make concessions easily. Last summer, when negotiating the defender's transfer with Manchester United, Benfica senior officials made it clear that A-fee cannot participate in the Olympics, which is very important for them, as the defender needs to start training with other players.

Benfica is willing to negotiate a termination clause of €50 million, but they are more concerned about the payment method. As a listed club, all Benfica's actions are under strict scrutiny. Although the door is not closed, it seems that A Fee's departure is not easy at present.

Of course, Real Madrid's sports management has a possible alternative list, but the club's leadership and technical team still think that A-fee is the most suitable one because of the meaning he represents and the desire to increase the team's Spanish elements.

One of the possible names is Grimaldo, who is preparing for the UEFA semi-finals with the Spanish national team, and Alonso knows him very well.
