Real Madrid veteran set to leave the club at the end of the season – report | OneFootball

It has been far from an exciting campaign for Dani Carvajal, who has struggled with injuries and fitness this season.

The Spaniard, in fact, has been ruled out for two more weeks with a fresh hamstring problem that could see him miss Real Madrid’s last few matches in the league this season.

Amid mounting fitness concerns, his future at the club has been a subject of hot debate, with many expecting him to leave at the end of the season.

Carvajal to leave the club

A recent report from MARCA now confirms that Carvajal will indeed leave Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season.

This would mark the end of a 13-year spell at the Bernabeu that saw him feature in 300 La Liga matches and almost 450 competitive matches for Los Blancos.

As per the report, Real Madrid have already decided not to offer him a contract renewal, a decision linked to his limited playing time in the final stretch of the season and his inability to return to his previous level following a string of injuries.

Since making his comeback from the serious knee injury sustained in October 2024, Carvajal has made just four starts, gone 14 matches without playing a single minute, and accumulated only 442 minutes on the pitch across 26 call-ups.

Clashes with coach Alvaro Arbeloa further complicated his final months at the club.

His latest injury has also all but ended his hopes of making Spain’s World Cup squad, another major blow for a player who had that tournament as one of his primary targets at the start of the season.

The expectation at Valdebebas is that Carvajal will be fit in time for the final league match against Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu, thus marking a fitting farewell at the stadium he has called home for so long.
