The demands of a club like Real Madrid do not allow any player to relax even if he is untouchable or has signed a great career with Chamartin’s team. Florentino Pérez , the president, does not marry anyone, nor has his pulse ever trembled when dismissing emblems such as Iker Casillas, Cristiano Ronaldo or Sergio Ramos. For the whites’ top manager, there is no one above the club
At the gates of a generational change in the Madrid squad there are several veteran footballers who are in decline and their future wearing the shirt of the Santiago Bernabéu is beginning to be questioned. It is true that there are players like Modric or Benzema whose legs are still holding up, but there are others who have also been at the club for many years and are getting closer and closer to the exit door
While Barça has been looking for a guaranteed right back for years, in Madrid, Dani Carvajal has become a legend at the Bernabéu. Since his arrival in the 2013/14 season, the footballer trained in the lower categories of Madrid has been the master and lord of the right wing, bringing speed and a lot of depth to the attacks. But, in his 30s, he’s not as regular as he used to be
Despite continuing to be a starter for Carlo Ancelotti, the Leganés full-back has no clear replacement and is starting to be one of the key positions to strengthen. Carvajal ‘s contract expires in 2025 and, when a Madrid player turns 30 Florentino only offers a year-by-year and downward renewal. Therefore, it could be time to go for Carvajal. According to information from the Marca newspaper , in the two games that the Madrid full-back has had a role in the World Cup in Qatar with Spain, he has not been at his best , and the first doubts are beginning to emerge
It is true that Dani Carvajal is a living history of Real Madrid, he has been part of the team that has won 5 Champions Leagues since winning the tenth. But Florentino has already shown that if he has to do without a player, he has no problem finding a way out. Marca insists on Carvajal’s performance in the World Cup, in which he has not had the confidence of Luis Enrique, who bet more on César Azpilicueta and Marcos Llorente
The elimination of the Spanish national team in the World Cup means that the right-back can return home to rest and get back under the orders of an Ancelotti who does give him more confidence. Carvajal will want to restart training in the best possible conditions to return to his former self and thus convince Florentino to extend his contract beyond 2025, although according to the president, an exit is also an option that is being considered
