According to Marca, Real Madrid and Benfica have in-depth negotiations on the transfer. Although the outside world initially believed that the deal would be easily reached, it turned out not to be so simple.

Benfica's tough attitude throughout the negotiations once made the deal seem almost impossible to complete. However, with the clever operation of the player's agent and the patience of both sides waiting for the best time, it seems that things are coming to an end.

During the Real Madrid training camp, the two sides have been working hard to advance the conclusion of the agreement. Although it has not been finalized yet, it is very close to a comprehensive consensus. There was news a month ago that the two teams had reached an agreement, but in fact, no documents have been signed until now. According to Marca, relevant people said that a formal transfer cannot be announced until all procedures are completed.

In fact, Real Madrid said that everything that can be done remotely is done, but a final meeting is still required and an agreement is signed. As Benfica took a fancy to Obrado, a young player from Real Madrid's youth training camp, who was loaned to La Coruña this season, is regarded as a future potential stock, which has brought a new turning point in the negotiations.

The deal will not trigger a 50 million euro termination clause, and eventually Benfica realized that it was necessary to negotiate with the players who wanted to return to their old club. If the deal is sold for 40 million euros, Benfica will receive five times the return of 8 million euros paid last summer, and Manchester United will also receive some compensation.

Obrado's joining and Real Madrid's management support for the willingness to join the A-fee have become the key factors that contributed to this deal. It is worth noting that these two deals will be evaluated independently. As a listed company, Benfica's management must ensure that the entire process is open and transparent.
