TA: Real Madrid plans to complete the signing of A-Fernandes in July. Benfica's elimination from the Club World Cup will accelerate the process

Live Football 1st July - The Athletic reports that Real Madrid plans to complete the signing of Benfica's full-back Alvaro Fernandez in July.

A. Fernandes remains A target for Real Madrid. As the deal failed to be completed before the Club World Cup, the club is expected to resume the signing process in July.

Benfica previously refused to release players during the Club World Cup. Now that Benfica has been eliminated from the competition, this deal is expected to accelerate in the coming weeks.

Given Goncalo's emergence, it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will continue to look for a substitute center forward.
