LONDON: Liverpool are interested in signing former Manchester United star Alvaro Carreras.
The left-back left Old Trafford and joined Benfica for 5 million pounds last May.
But just five months after his move, Spanish media reported that Carreras was now on Liverpool’s radar.
Carreras’ contract at Benfica expires in 2029 and is said to have a release clause that can be activated by Arne Slot.
The 21-year-old spent half of last season at the Portuguese giants on loan.
Carreras has never been featured in Man United’s first team – only warming the bench in a few Premier League games.
Erik ten Hag’s side have had their worst start to the season in the league and the left-back position is one of the most problematic after Luke Shaw’s injury.
The decision to let Carreras go was seen as a mistake with one supporter saying: “We are a very stupid club.”
