Real Madrid wants to bring Carreras back to the team, but they are not willing to pay the full amount. They are seeking a compromise with Benfica and are willing to negotiate a lower price.

Real Madrid's offer is capped at €40m, which is lower than Benfica's buyout clause. The Spanish club is serious about re-signing Carreras and is exploring alternative options to meet Benfica's demands.

One possible solution is to include a young player in the offer. Real Madrid knows that Benfica is interested in Rafael Obrador, and they might include him in the deal. This could be a way for Real Madrid to negotiate a lower price and bring Carreras back to the team.
