Many concerns are still present in the Real Madrid defense. Dani Carvajal (33), undisputed captain of Madrid despite his eight small appearances this season, is one of them. As noted The Athleticthe Spanish right-back has not spent much time on the pitch at the end of 2025 and his future is in danger in the capital. With the status of an experienced player, Carvajal took stock of his future, having spent his last 22 years in the White House, with the exception of one season at Bayer Leverkusen in 2012-13, before Madrid snapped him up. The source and people close to the Madrilenian mentioned that the player was hesitating between Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the USA, and of course his training club, but nothing is yet guaranteed.
Sources from the Spanish club say for their part that decisions will be taken by mutual agreement, and that they will not necessarily wait until the end of the season to close this debate. With his six Champions League titles, he remains a very important element in Xabi Alonso’s locker room, despite long absences which weigh heavily away from the pitch. If his future in Spain remains unclear, the club still knows that it can count on him in moments of doubt. The different continents will obviously be attentive to his words…
