Real Madrid’s management has made its final decision on signing a replacement for Dani Carvajal after confirming his absence for the rest of the season due to a knee ligament injury.
Hours after the Spanish international’s injury, Real Madrid renewed his contract until the summer of 2026, but it was said that the Merengue management will start looking for another player to support the right flank during his absence.
According to the newspaper “AS”, the prevailing trend within Real Madrid’s management is not to sign a replacement for Carvajal, whether from the currently available free options or in the upcoming winter transfer period.
Florentino Perez’s management has great confidence in Lucas Vazquez’s ability to replace Carvajal, and the duo Fede Valverde and Eder Militao can be relied upon in the same position when needed.
Real Madrid’s management has not completely closed the door to signing a successor for Carvajal, and the situation may change in the event of any emergency, such as an injury to any of the trio already on coach Carlo Ancelotti’s list.
In general, Real Madrid will seek to sign a right-back next summer, given the doubts about Carvajal’s ability to regain his level after such a severe injury, in addition to his advanced age.
Trent Alexander-Arnold remains Real Madrid’s preferred name, especially since the deal will be free at the end of his contract with Liverpool, in addition to the belief that he is the ideal full-back for the team in the coming years.
