Man Utd Poised To Activate Buy-back Clause On Summer Sale
Manchester United is considering re-signing Alvaro Fernandez through Buy-Back Clause according to reports.
Manchester United are mulling over exercising the buy-back clause for former youth player Alvaro Fernandez Carreras, currently at Benfica.
Man Utd loaned Fernandez to Benfica in the January window of 2024. The deal contained an option to buy worth €6m which the Portuguese side activated at the beginning of the summer.
Manchester United Face Competition for Alvaro Fernandez
Alvaro Fernandez’s standout performances for Benfica have caught Manchester United’s attention, prompting consideration of activating his buy-back clause.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are monitoring Alvaro Fernandez Carreras’ situation, ready to pounce if Manchester United hesitate to activate his buy-back clause.
O Jogo confirmed the presence of a buy-back clause in Fernandez’s contract which Man Utd can trigger for a fixed fee. The exact amount that clause is set at was not revealed, though United are understood to be weighing up whether to activate it nonetheless.
Man Utd’s interest in re-signing the Spaniard is said to stem from their ongoing struggles in the left-back position. Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are all too often sidelined with injury. That has forced Erik ten Hag to deploy Diogo Dalot out of position on the left side.
