Real Madrid was close to finalizing Contract Extension with Dani Carvajal
Real Madrid was close to extending Dani Carvajal’s contract per madriduniversal.com. The club and the player both want to continue working together.
Carvajal, 32, has been a key player since returning from Bayer Leverkusen in 2013. He is important both on the field and in the locker room. His hard work and leadership help younger players on the team.
Despite facing some injuries, Carvajal has shown resilience. He is now considered one of the best right-backs in the world. He is also in the running for the Ballon d’Or but today’s injury can make it challenging.
With Toni Kroos retiring and Luka Modric likely leaving next summer, keeping Carvajal would be beneficial for Real Madrid. His experience and winning mentality are valuable assets.
The new contract will secure Carvajal’s role at the club for at least one more season. This move helps Real Madrid maintain stability during a time of change.
