Liverpool is reportedly leading the race for Carreras’ signature, with the club taking the first steps to secure the Spain Under-21 international as a potential successor to Andy Robertson.
Importantly, Manchester United has a buy-back clause for Carreras, which they negotiated as part of the agreement when they sold the young defender at a reduced fee. There are indications that United may consider activating this clause to bring Carreras back to Old Trafford permanently, particularly due to concerns about the long-term fitness of both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
While the exact value of the buy-back clause remains unclear, it is expected to be significantly lower than what Benfica would typically demand for a 21-year-old player under contract until 2029.
