Xabi Alonso's departure from Real Madrid: Dani Carvajal's reaction sparks debate | OneFootball

Dani Carvajal - Xabi Alonso

Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal has finally responded to Xabi Alonso's departure. However, the Spaniard's reaction is raising questions.

On Monday evening, the departure of Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid sent shockwaves through the Spanish media and triggered a flurry of reactions from players such as Arda Güler, Kylian Mbappé, and Rodrygo. Captain Dani Carvajal opted for a much more succinct response. In fact, on his Instagram account, the Spanish defender simply wrote: "thanks for everything", without adding any further comment or context.

A minimalist reaction that stands in stark contrast to the detailed and emotional messages from several locker room leaders, Carvajal's brief reply is already prompting questions among observers. Some interpret it as a simple professional thank-you, while others see it as a sign of discomfort or distance with the club's handling of the situation.
