Real Madrid are in the process of not just signing new players this summer, but also working to keep their current stars happy amid the new world-class arrivals. One player whose position is under threat is Dani Carvajal, with Real Madrid interested in signing Trent Alexander-Arnold.
However, it must be said that the Englishman is unlikely to join Real Madrid until 2025, when his Liverpool contract expires.
Since coming through the Real Madrid youth ranks, Dani Carvajal has emerged into one of the best full-backs in the world and genuinely one of the greatest of all-time in his position. His on-field displays speak for themselves as he is more often than not solid, but it's his incredible medal cabinet which is the most impressive. He has won four Ligas, six Champions Leagues and now the Euros.
Real Madrid make crucial Dani Carvajal decision, claims Fabrizio Romano
However, there is a looming situation brewing with Dani Carvajal which must be addressed sooner rather than later by Real Madrid. The Spain international runs out of contract at the Bernabeu in the summer of 2025, so he will soon play his final year under contract.
According to a report from Fabrizio Romano (h/t Madrid Xtra), Real Madrid and Dani Carvajal are in discussion over a contract renewal. It is clear that Real Madrid are ticking off boxes on their to-do list, as it was revealed last week that Ferland Mendy was close to a contract extension.
Real Madrid are one of the most organised clubs in the world. Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Perez combined are the best in the business at spotting a brewing problem before it becomes an actual problem. Therefore, it's great to see that they are planning a Dani Carvajal contract extension ahead of time, he certainly deserves an extension after all.
